You'll need to set both the top margin and the header margin to 0.5", leave
the First Page Header empty, and format the Header with enough Space After
to push the document body down to 1".

I want to have no header on the first page with a .5" top margin. Then on
the second and all the rest of the pages I need a 1" top margin (with
header
information on the top of the second page and every pager thereafter.

If anyone can help me, I would be grateful forever.
