Word page numbers headers and footers

Hi, does anyone know how I can place the page number on every single page of a document but different headers on alternate pages?

    Cas7Cas7, follow the following steps: - Open your document in Microsoft Word. - Click on the page where you want to start the new section. - Go to the Page Layout tab and click on Breaks. - Choose "Next Page" under "Section Breaks". - Double-click the header on the first page of the new section to enter the Header and Footer editing mode. - In the Header and Footer Tools Design tab, check the box for "Different First Page" to create a unique header for the first page of the new section. - Add the desired content to the header of the first page of the new section, including any text, graphics, or logos. - Go to the second page of the new section and double-click the header to enter the Header and Footer editing mode again. - In the Header and Footer Tools Design tab, check the box for "Different Odd & Even Pages" to create a unique header for alternate pages. - Add the desired content to the header of the second page of the new section. - Click on the "Insert" tab and select "Page Number". - Choose the desired location for the page number, such as the top or bottom of the page. - Select the desired format for the page number, such as "Page 1 of 10". - Click "Close Header and Footer" to save the changes and exit the Header and Footer editing mode. - Repeat steps 5 through 14 for any additional sections in the document. Hope this helps!
