Different headers and footers to Microsoft Word are 1.) Different odd and even pages 2.) Different first page

Different headers and footer to me is the page 1 header with Text A, the page 2 header with Text B, the page 3 header with Text C, etc.

As an example, I do a report on three cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego with each page displaying the respective city in the headers, no matter how many pages are for each city.

Automatic Link with Each Page Header and Footer

In a blank document, type Los Angeles in the header, then create two more pages (Ctrl + Enter will create a new page), for a total of three pages. Notice each header displays Los Angeles in the header. Go to page two and change the header to San Diego. All pages will display San Diego in the header. It will not matter where you make the change in the document, all of the headers will display the same text, unless you modify the pages into sections.

Unlink from Previous Page Headers and Footers

Open another new blank document, and create a header labeled Header One. Close the Header/Footer dialog box. Press the Enter key twice to create some empty spaces

Create a new page ( Ctrl + Enter keys ). The text Header One is also displayed in the page two header. Double-click the header in page two, and click the Link to Previous button to unlink from the previous header. Change the text to Header Two. Close the Header/Footer dialog box

Create another blank page ( Ctrl + Enter ).  The text Header Two is displayed in the page three header. Double-click the header in page three, and click the Link to Previous button to unlink from the previous header.

Change the text to Header Three. Close the Header/Footer dialog box

Go back to the first and second pages. Each header should display different text on each page.
