Which action changes the first page header to be different from the rest?

• A. Double-click the document header, then in the Design tab enable Different First Page.
• B. Double-click the header and select Different First Page in the Layout tab.
• C. Insert a new page break.
• D. Enable Different First Page in the Page Setup dialog.

Answer: (D)

Starting a different header for the first page relies on a per-section setting called Different First Page. When you enable this option in the Page Setup dialog (Layout tab), Word treats the first page of that section as having its own header and footer, separate from the headers on the remaining pages. That separation lets you place content in the first-page header that doesn’t appear on later pages, producing the distinct look you want. The other approaches don’t guarantee the same result. Simply turning on the option from within the header editing area can depend on the current state of the header setup and may not apply consistently across the section. Inserting a page break doesn’t alter header behavior by itself; it just starts a new page without changing the header relationship.
