Default Header / Footer Info Repeats on pg.2/3/4/etc.

thanks TO ALL FOR YOR RESPONSES......just to reiterate, i want page 1 to be
different than all the rest. Page one will have all the infof and page 2
through whatever will simply have the firm name, logo....what is happening
now is even though i created two different headers on two sperate pages
(first and the second) when i am typing and run out of room on the first
page, and jump to the second page automatically, the header that i created
for the first page is automatically duplicated on the second
page....literally the header i created for the second page is erased and
replaced by the first header....this is the probelm....

so i dont want the first header repeated, i want it only on the first
page....i want the streamlined header on the second and subseqent pages.....

i apologize if i was not being clear.....

thanks...how would i set up the second and subsequest pages? after the
first
page set like you suggest, do i simply scroll down, pop to a second page,
create teh header on that second page and save it?

thanks again for your help and prompt response......

by the way, i did click the different first page command for my existing
first page but it want blank, as did the second page since they are
mirroring
each other.....maybe it s due to the fact that the page was not INITIALLY
set
up that way....

Hi Alex,

Have you set up the page layout as 'different first page'? With such a
layout, your 1st page header will only appear on the 1st
page. If you want a header on the 2nd and subsequent pages, you'll need
to (at least temporarily) add a 2nd page to the document so
that you can add a header to it.

What I Did: created header/footer info for page 1 of my business
letterhead
(name, logo, offices, contact information) and, for sucessive page 2
and so
on, created header with just name of company & logo.
What I want: to simply type the text i need and have the successive
pages to
maintain the streamlined header info.....
What Happens: the problem - as I am moved to the second page due to
voluminous text content, Word automatically copies the header info from
the
first page on to the next page....it does not simply bump me to the
next page
and and KEEP the streamlined header info that had been already
created.....

Bottom Line: i want page 1 to be comprehensive header info and all
successive pages to be the streamlined header info...now i just keep
getting
page 1 header info on every successive page...

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for your help....
