Ok, here goes again. I have a one-page document that has
a header. If the page extends into a 2nd or 3rd page, I
do not want a header on subsequent pages. The 1st page
top margin needs to be set at 2.25, while subsequent
pages (if they appear) need a top margin of 1.25. It
seems I can solve these two problems, but not at the same
time. I can elect for a different first page header by
going to Page Setup--Layout--Different First Page
Header. That does not solve the problem of a different
top margin. That I tried to solve by putting in a section
break immediately after the header on the first page.
That will work to a degree in that I can then make the
2nd and subsequent pages have a different top margin.
However, placement of the section break means that when a
user opens the document and begins to type, the insertion
point comes BEFORE the hidden section break, thereby
moving the section break down the page as typing
commences, and therefore formatting the 2nd page same as
the first.

I have been told many numerous remedies, mostly to either
insert a paragraph on the first page for the extra space,
or to use a text box. Neither case is sufficient for what
my users need. They need for the insertion point to be at
the EXACT location that they need to begin typing without
changing any of the formatting. Surely as powerful an
application as Word is, there must be a way to handle
something this simple.

This document is actually a letterhead that I have
created with my logo, etc within the Header of the first
page. If I do not place the logo in the Header and place
it in the document as an object instead, the insertion
point comes before the object, making everything move
down. My users are not computer literate and would not
know how to change a header, or how to move their
insertion point.

The biggest test comes from a user who is several steps
above me on the chain of command, so I must satisfy his
desires on this letterhead at all costs..lol....He
creates his document as a plain document, then cuts and
pastes it onto the letterhead. I know this is crazy and
useless, but try to tell him that. Anyway, with the logo
as an object, the cut and paste moves the object down the
page and the text he pastes sort of goes into the middle
of the object.

Other users simply open the template and begin typing but
again, the insertion point moves the section break.

Help!!! Pulling my hair out over this one! Please feel
free to email me if you can offer any further suggestions!
