How to put a header on ONE page only?

Alright, folks, how do I put a header on only one page a document. The pages are already numbered in the footer, so I can't change the first page to the middle and just head the first page. I don't want any headers at all on any other page (except page 9). I am using Microsoft Word.

    Put section breaks before and after that page, disconnect the headers between the three sections, then edit the header on page 9. Here's the rough outline:

    In versions of Word prior to Word 2007:

    1. Put the cursor at the top of page 9.

    2. Click the Insert->Break menu item

    3. Click the Next Page radio button.

    4. Click OK. This puts in a section break, not a page break.

    5. Click the View->Header & Footer menu item.

    6. In the Header & Footer menu that pops up, deselect the Same as Previous button (fourth from the Close button).

    7. Double-click outside the header to get out again.

    8. Repeat the above for page 10.

    In Word 2007 or 2010:

    1. Put the cursor at the top of page 9.

    2. Click the Page Layout tab on the Ribbon.

    3. In the Page Setup group, click the Breaks icon.

    4. Click Next Page. This puts in a section break, not a page break.

    5. Double-click in the header on page 9.

    6. In the Design tab that should appear on the Ribbon, in the Navigation group, deselect Link To Previous.

    7. Repeat the above for page 10.

    Now the page is isolated as far as its header is concerned.

    Hope that helps.

    I would just do it manually on that page. There might be a way, but I use like 25 programs at my job , so I do shortcuts.
