Header and Footer error - only showing on page entered

Hi All,

 

Probably a setting I have missed but headers and footers are only showing on the page I enter them. Selecting the button for different on page one works.

 

I have tried double clicking the header and selection header from the Insert tab, neither make a difference.

 

Whats am I doing wrong? In office 2010 it works fine

You may have extra section breaks. Each section can have up to three different headers/footers, including blank ones. Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word 2007-2013

When you say that "different first page" works fine, I don't understand. That control will make a heador or footer appear only on the first page of a section (or conversely, make the already existing header only appear on continuation pages).

.doc or .docx makes no difference on headers/footers.

Go to the end of the document. Make sure that section numbers show in the status area on the bottom of the screen. How many sections show?
