How to make different headers for odd and even pages in Word In long documents, especially when you’re viewing a two-page spread, it’s common to have a different header on odd and even pages.

If you turn off page numbering for the first page of a Word document and then add a new section to page 2, the page number on page 2 disappears! Here's how to get it back.

Headers/footers are set per-section in Word. There are a variety of types of Section Breaks that you can insert -- some include a page break; others do not.

If page numbers are disappearing in your Microsoft Word document, disable 'Link to Previous', switch to Print Layout view, show white space between pages, etc.
