[users@httpd] Page caches

We run an Apache 2.x (sorry, I do not know the exact version) on Windows Server 2003.
 
I am trying to stop certain pages being cached as users complain they can not see the up to date version.
 
Using a test page called testrefresh.html I put the following in the <head>
 
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="30; URL=""
 
and that forces the page to reload every 30 seconds which picks up any new content.
 
But it also means the page is constantly being reloaded. Also, one of the key pages I want to keep fresh is a menu and users do not dwell there long.  Setting the refresh to about 2 seconds is not really feasible. Another one is  a page which collects a username/password so refreshing is not desirable.
 
I have tried <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">, <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"> and <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, must-revalidate"> but none cause the page to be loaded from the server on access. In all cases using the refresh button or the refresh statement causes the content to be refreshed.
 
I have seen various references to cache related statements which are probably in the Apache config file but frankly it may as well be in Greek as far as I am concerned.
 
Is there some server setting which is preventing the cache control working?
 
Or to put it another way, is there a server setting I can use which fill force the pages to not be cached? and if so can I then choose which pages to allow into cache? and if so how?
