How do I format my paper so that the phrase Running head appears on only the first page?

In Microsoft Word:

  1. On the View menu, click on Header and Footer.
  2. In the toolbar that appears, choose the Page setup image and then the tab Layout.
  3. In the menu, under Headers and footers, click the box that says Different first page.
  4. In the First Page Header box at the top of page 1, type Running head: and then your abbreviated title.
  5. Go to page 2 of your document and delete the phrase Running head.
  6. On page 1, Running head will remain in your first page header, and only your abbreviated title will appear on subsequent pages.
