How do you make different headers for Microsoft Word? HELP?

Question

I have a paper due today so please make the steps easy & detailed.
I think I have Microsoft Word 2007. Either 2007 or 2010.
I want my paper's header to have the page number, along with my last name.

So, let's say my last name is Smith. For the first page, I want it to say Smith 1, the second page to be Smith 2, the third one to say Smith 3, and the 4th one to say Smith 4. I have 4 pages.

Thanks! If you need more information, just edit your answer and I'll reply.

Answer 1

I will try to help you. I have Microsoft Word 2010, so I apologies if these steps do not work:

1. Open your document.

2. Click on "Insert".

3. Click on "Header".

4. Scroll down to "Contrast (Even Page)", "Contrast (Odd Page)", "Motion (Even Page)", "Motion (Odd Page)", "Perspective", "Puzzle (Even Page)", "Puzzle (Odd Page)", or "Stacks". If you cannot find one of those, hover your cursor over "More Headers from Office.com", and click on a header with a page number on it.

5. Click on the header you selected.

6. Type your last name.

7. Erase any pending information in the header.

I hope I helped. ☺

For 2007 word

Open Document - Click Insert -> Header -> Blank 3 column

Click in header where you want to put name and number - left, center, or right

Type Smith and press space bar

Click Page Number -> current position -> plain number

Create your document and mark the entries that you want to have in the index. Marking text for inclusion in an index is done through selecting the text then on the References tab click on Index and follow the prompts. Do this for all entries that you want to have in the index. When the document is finished, put the cursor where you want the index and on the references tab click on Insert Index. All of the entries that you marked for the index will be brought into your document in order and the page numbers will be placed where you directed when marking the entries. I have found that creating long complicated documents is easier if the Outline feature of Word is used. You can arrange the document (like a plan) and then fill it in by clicking on the part that you want to work on. Using the Outline feature makes the creation of a Table of Contents almost automatic if used properly as the headings would already be in place ready to use.
