Microsoft Word 2016: How to Insert Different Headers on Each Page

How to insert different headers and footers on each page of a document in Microsoft Word 2016:
  1. Double-click at the top of the first page to add the first header.
  2. Right-click on the status bar at the bottom.
  3. Check the options for Formatted Page Number and Section. This will make it easy to see what section you are working in.
  4. Place the cursor in the body of the first page (or after whatever text belongs with the first header).
  5. Switch to the Layout tab.
  6. In the Page Setup group, go to Breaks and select Next Page.
  7. Double-click inside the next header. You should notice a box that says "Header -Section 2-" and a box that says "Same as Previous".
  8. In the Design tab (which should open automatically), click on the Link to Previous option in the Navigation group to turn off linked headers and footers.
  9. You can now edit the Section 2 header without making changes to the Section 1 header.
  10. Repeat as necessary for additional headers and footers.
