You don’t have to take up space in your document for details like title, author, or date. Here’s how to add and customize headers and footers in Word.

Creating a unique header for a single page in Word 2013 can be challenging at first; when you edit the page header, Word applies the change to all the pages in the document.

Open Microsoft Word 2010 and browse to the document with the header to copy. Double-click the header area to enable and open it. Click inside the header and highlight all of the section to copy.

If you run into a conditional header or footer request that you can't handle, take a look at Word fields. They're not magic, but it kind of feels like magic when they do what you want.
