I don't know for sure - I haven't done much Word Automation (I did more Excel). But it looks as if the text you just inserted is automatically selected. In that case, you have to press, for example, "right-arrow" (or in this case, issue the corresponding Automation command), to have the cursor go after the inserted text.

>>Within Word (without Automation), to get different headers, you would have to start a new section instead of a new page (insert section command), un-link the section from the previous one (so that it can have an independent header), and change the header. I don't know how to do this with Automation, but perhaps if you save macros in Word you can then look at the generated code and adapt it.
