people using Google Docs can now use
different headers and footers on the
first pages of their documents which
comes in handy for following academic
formatting guidelines such as MLA CMS or
APA or maybe just making a title page
without headers or footers after
inserting a header or footer in your
document you'll see a new check box
ticket and you'll be able to set a
different header and footer on the first
page let's go ahead and demonstrate this
so I have pulled up an example research
paper and you can all see that from what
we were used to doing we have to start
doing this running head putting that
practical application paper title on the
top there and then in subsequent pages
we'd have to do something different
now if I was doing this formatting wise
in Google Docs before if I insert a
header or a footer it would put it on
all subsequent pages so what we can do
is we can just go ahead and let's say
for example we're just going to cut this
piece and we're going to delete the rest
of this now I'm going to go up to insert
I'm going to go down to where it says
header you'll notice that a new little
box here if I select that I can do a
different first page header so up at the
top here I can go ahead and paste that
what I had before
now if I go down to my second page
you'll notice that the second page does
not have that exact same header if I go
ahead and click inside here I can do
whatever I want so for example I'm just
going to tab over and I'm just going to
write data collection just make sure I'm
in the same font so we got Times New
Roman
select that
and now what I've done is I've created
that second header that's just a little
bit different than my first one so I
have data collection here if I go up to
the top you'll see here is my practical
application paper header that I put up
top now if I have already created this
instance what I can do is go ahead and
deselect this box when I do that you'll
notice that the first one goes away in
that upper left corner and it has taken
on the property of my second one that I
created on page 2 click it again and it
allow allows me to go back and actually
put into whatever I want in that case
that's that practical application paper
header and I can go from there so the
same thing is going to apply for footers
where you can do custom and unique
headers and footers on page one and then
all subsequent pages something different
