NOTE: Clicking the images will enlarge them in a new tab/window.
STEP 1: Insert a blank header: Insert (tab) > Header drop-box (Header & Footer panel) > select Blank. You can also double-click in the header area to access the editable header.
STEP 2: The header should be left aligned by default. Simply enter the desired header text as you would expect it to appear on page 2 and subsequent pages. Next, press the keyboard’s Tab key until the cursor is aligned with the right margin.
NOTE: When inserting the page number: select Page Number drop-box (from either the Insert or Design tabs) > Current Position > Plain Number.
STEP 3: Select the Different First Page check-box in the Options panel under the Design tab. Do not worry if the header disappears.
STEP 4: Repeat steps 1 and 2, and insert the desired text (i.e., "Running head: . . . ") and page number where appropriate.
STEP 5: You can insert a page break in the main body of the manuscript to see if it works. Once beyond page 1, the running head (sans the phrase: "Running head:") should appear.
STEP 6: If it has not been done, double-click or highlight the header elements and format the text accordingly (i.e., 12-point, Times New Roman font).
This technique should work whether you use Word 2007, 2010, or 2013. If this technique does not work, try the aforementioned one.
