Research Paper – no header on first page
updated 10/2009
Alrighty, you are not supposed to have a header on the first page of your paper. For this discussion, we are going to say that the first page of your paper IS the first page of your paper – not your title page, ok?
Hello, hello. Hello? Anyone out there? Would someone please leave a comment? Is anyone reading these words of wisdom?
(You did paste your Works Cited page in as the last page of your paper, didn’t you? Well, you were supposed to. It should be the last page of your paper and it should start at the very, very, very top of the page. And the header should be on this page.)
Go ahead and print JUST page one of your paper BEFORE adding the header. Go to file, print, and check the circle for pages and enter “1″ in the box. Of course, if you are ON page one of your paper you can go to file, print, and check the circle for “current page” so that just your first page prints.
It has no header.
Now. Add your header.
Print the remainder of your paper. Go to file, print, and check the circle for pages and enter “2-X” —- X being the number of pages you have. If you have six pages you’d put “2-6″ in that space.
That was not difficult was it? Good luck, people. It’s time like these that make me glad I’m old.
