Default Automatic header for new documents in Word 2007

Doug thanks. I wasn't clear in my question. I want to set up the Normal
template so that each new Word document automatically has the header.

Almost everything in Word 2007 works the same as in previous versions -
Finding the way to do it though can be a challenge

Create the header that you want to start on the second page on the First
page of the document, then on the Ribbon, select the Page Layout tab and
then click on the arrow at the right hand end of the lower border of the
Page Setup section of the Ribbon and then go to the Layout tab of the Page
Setup dialog and check the Different First Page box and then click on OK.

The header that you had set up will then disappear, to reappear on the
second and subsequent pages of the document.

Hope this helps.

A friend with Word 2007 wants to have each new document automatically set
up
so that it has a header starting at the second page. Years ago Suzanne
gave
me instructions on setting this up and I've used it ever since. But the
same approach doesn't seem to work for Word 2007.
