want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages.

instructions. (It also has the following links)

Hi

I'm trying to write a business letter. My logo and date and reference etc
are all in the header on the first page. I obviously don't want these to
appear on every page [although I'd like the footer to do so if possible].
As far as I can see, the only way to do this is to wait until my typing
gets to the bottom of the page and then manually insert a section break,
making the header in the new section different from the last section. But
I seem to have to do this for every page!

How do I do this?

Its seems to me to be such a fundamental requirement and yet I can't even
find anything on it in help. Good old MS, making everything too
complicated as usual and ignoring basic requirements.

Thansk for your help.
