Office 365: Word Header on First Page Only

When working with built-in styles in Microsoft Word, it's essential to understand how they work across different language versions. If you refer to these styles using just their numbers, it may lead to unexpected results.

One common issue is when switching between different Word language versions. This causes a 'style not found' message because Word tries to find the style with its original name, which has been translated into the local language. For example, if you're working in French, the built-in 'Heading 1' style may be translated to 'Titre 1'.

To avoid this problem, it's recommended to edit field codes and replace STYLEREF 'Heading 1' with STYLEREF 1 when using different language versions of Word at the same time. This ensures that the reference points at the correct number rather than the name.

When creating a header or footer on the first page only in Office 365, you can follow these steps:

* Insert a field by going to the 'Insert' tab and clicking on 'Quick Parts' > 'Field'

* In the Field dialog box, select 'Index and Tables' from the categories list

* Choose 'Page Numbers' and click 'OK'

* Select the 'Format' button next to the page number field

* In the Format dialog box, check the 'Insert paragraph number' checkbox and leave all other checkboxes cleared

* Click 'OK' to apply the changes

By following these steps, you can successfully create a header or footer on the first page only in Office 365 using the built-in styles.
