Inserting title into MS-Word document

[Stretchman]

Hi guys,

I have a fairly large manuscript in MS-Word format. A colleague of mine has asked that I insert the title of the work at the top of each page. Is there an easy to way to accomplish this in MS-Word?

Thanks.

Headers. Use the help system to see how to insert the same header on every page. Procedures may vary depending on the version of Word.

Thanks very much, i'll check that out.

Since I have MS Word 2003, here's how:

View | Header and Footer.

Also there's another tool to look into:
Insert | Autotext |Author, Page #, Date

Thanks Latamesh. Is there anyway to customize the Insert Autotext option?

Basically I want to insert text in the right margin of the header that reads: Author / Title of Book / Page #


I've had some success with creating the Author / Title of Book / .....but getting the Page # to automatically # isn't working.

Update....Ok, I figured a way to accomplish the above, but I do have one other question concerning headers - how do I keep my headers off of the title page and table of contents?

Create a different header or footer for part of a document

When you create a header or footer, Word automatically uses the same header or footer throughout the entire document. To create a different header or footer for part of a document, divide the document into sections, and then break the connection between the header or footer in the current section and the previous one.

1 If you haven't done so already, insert a section break where you want to start a new section that contains a different header or footer.

How?

2 Click in the section for which you want to create a different header or footer.
3 On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
4 If necessary, move to the header or footer you want to change.

How?

5 On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Same as Previous .
6 Change the existing header or footer, or create a new one for this section.

How?

Word automatically makes the same changes to the headers or footers for all subsequent sections.

7 To create a different header or footer for a subsequent section, repeat steps 1 through 6.
