How to Delete the Header and Footer from the FRONT and BACK COVERS of a Word Document

Removing header or footer from the first page (front cover) is very easy:

1) Double-click the header or footer area to display the “HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS” on the ribbon.

2) Select the “Different first page” check-box to remove your regular header & footer from the first page.

Removing header or footer from the last page (back cover) is a little more complicated.

1) Click and insert your cursor where the back cover begins.

2) Click Page Layout > Breaks > Next Page to create a (section) break.

3) Double-click the header or footer area to display the “HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS” on the ribbon.

4) Click the “Link to Previous” image to turn off the link between this section and all the previous sections.

5) Click the Header button and select “Remove Header” from near the bottom of the menu.

6) Click the Footer button and select “Remove Footer” from near the bottom of the menu.

7) When you’re done, click the “Close Header and Footer” button and return to the document. Now the last page (back cover) will not display a header or footer.
