A running head is a string of text added to a document's header, usually next to the page numbers. It is often used in academic papers and short story manuscripts to display the title of the story and the author's name next to the page number. Typically a running head appears on every page in the document; however, you can configure Microsoft Word to create a custom running head on the title page of the document only. The process is the same in Word 2007 and Word 2010.
