SUMMARY
=======
 
When using the Format Running-Head command (Word 2.x, 3.x, 4.0, and
5.0) or the Format Header/Footer command (Word 5.5) to create a
running head in a document, the running head will not print on the
first page even if the first page option is set to Yes.
 
To create a running head, Word manuals say to select a paragraph
within your document and specify its formatting options with the
Format Running-Head or Format Header/Footer command. However, when you
do this, the selected paragraph is not printed as text or as a running
head on the first page.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The following are a few rules governing the use of running heads:
 
 - A running head takes effect from the point it occurs in the
   document to the end of the division/section (unless the
   division/section is formatted as continuous), or until it is
   superseded by another running head formatted for the same position.
 
 - A running head will not appear on the first page of a
   division/section (or document) unless it is the first paragraph of
   that division/section (or document).
 
 - A division/section break will disable a running head, unless the
   division/section break is formatted as continuous.
 
 - If a running head is to take effect on the next page, it must be
   entered above the page break signifying the beginning of that page.
 
 - A top or bottom running head must be able to fit within the top or
   bottom margin, respectively.
