I think that is what the OP is trying to do, but additional section breaks
are being inserted, probably without a new page, by attempts to make it from
this point forward.

The idea of "Different first page" is to allow you to have one watermark
or
logo or chunk of text or whatever on the first page and a different one on
*all* the remaining pages. For a letter, this would be the expected thing:
you have a letterhead on the first page and then a "second sheet"
letterhead
(or just a page number or whatever) on the remaining sheets. What exactly
is
it that you are trying to do?

Different first page is selected, and that works for page 2. Then I'm
typing
along - type, type, type, and page 3 comes, and there's the watermark
again.
So at the end of page 2, I have to go to File, page setup, Layout, make
sure
that new Page is selected, and then click on "from this point forward" in
Apply To. The watermark on the next page disappears, but then it pops up
again when I get to the next page. It works, but is a pain in the butt.
Since our letterhead is a full-page graphic, top and bottom, I've asked
our
marketing director to split it up so that I can put them in the
header/footer.

Although this can be done using Format | Background | Printed
Watermark,
it
would be much easier to do manually. Regardless of how you do it,
you'll
need to enable the "Different first page" setting to get a First Page
Header; easiest thing from there is just to insert the picture in the
First
Page Header, set to Behind Text wrapping. See

We're using Word 2003. I did format, background, printed watermark,
and
inserted a jpg picture. The "picture" is our letterhead - a band at
the
top
and bottom.

Hi Lisa-
This is not difficult to do, but may vary a little depending on
which
version of Word & how the watermark was actually created. Please
post
back
with more details |:)

How do I print a watermark (picture) on just the first page of my
document?
The margins also change for the second page on. Word gives me
the
option to
either have it or not, doesn't give me a choice as to what pages
I
want it on.
