- Thank you Rusty! I totally missed the second tab.
- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.Initially I encountered the same issue as Steve, until I realized this process has changed for Office365.
In Office365, when you check the Different first page box and then click Custom Header. There are now two tabs at the top the header window, by default it starts you at the header for all other pages, so click the 'First Page Header' tab and make your changes there.
Cheers! - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.to Steve, it does work, you just did not follow the instructions exactly.
- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.Nope. Don't work. This doesn't work. The header shows up everywhere BUT the front page.
Headers are so terribly complicated to use. You would think microsoft would fix this. I know programing languanges and can't ever get a header to work.
Horrible flaw in ALL microsoft products. I quite using headers altogether. Too frustrating.
