I suspect we're at cross purposes here about the meaning of "script
language". I understood it to mean executable code that does something, like
the VBscript or JavaScript that you can embed in an HTML page. Your later
description indicates that it's text that should appear on a (viewed or
printed) Word document. In that case it has nothing to do with macros or
programming.

If your question is how to get the text to appear on the second and
subsequent pages but not on the first page, the answer is to go to File
Page Setup, click the Layout tab, and check the box for "Different first
page". In the document, temporarily create a second page by pressing
Ctrl+Enter at the end of page 1 to insert a page break. Open the header
area. If there is text in the First Page Header, remove it. Place the text
in the header on page 2. Close the header area, and delete the page break.
Word will "remember" the header and display it on pages 2 and beyond, when
the document becomes more than one page long.

This procedure is similar to the one described at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm. The only difference is
which header (First Page or the primary Header) you put the text into.

The script language from a document assembly program is like a form
field that contains case name, number, etc. so when I want to
generate a document to a particular client, and the document is more
than one page in length, this information is in the header/footer.

I have also posted the original question on the programming group as
well, but if you have any suggestions, I will listen.

Thank you.

Thank you for your patience.......

There's no reason to believe that script language from any other
program will work in Word. A Word document's header is nothing at all
like an HTML header except for the name.

You may need to reprogram the script as a VBA macro. What is it
supposed to do? In any case, it would be best to move the discussion
to the programming newsgroup,
