I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean by duplicating the contents of
your header into the first page header. Do you mean that the header was
typed in twice on the first page. Say once in the begining, then after
selecting different first page, retyping the header in the first page
again??? I am not sure what you mean, please explain so I can figure out
what happened.

Somehow, as Suzanne pointed out, you have duplicated the contents of you
"header" into the "first-page header." Call up your template and delete the
contents of your first-page header.

If this doesn't do it, you have an errant continuous section break on your
first page somewhere.

I am doing this correctly and it has worked fine int the past. It was this
one time trying to put a header on all pages but the first, even with the
check on "Different First Page" the header showed on the first page as
well.
It was weird. Pulled up a blank template and tried it, worked fine. Just
not on the template, identical to the blank, I was wokring in at the
time.
Had to go to the second page and try the header there with the different
first page check, then it worked. If I copied what I typed to the same
but
new (blank) template it worked fine. Strange. That is why I asked the
question regarding an intermitent problem with the header feature. I know
that this is true with the autotext auto correct feature when expecting it
to
always popup with a suggestion 100% of a time. I use F3 now, which works
much better.

This is not a known intermittent problem in Word. It is probably directly
related to how your template is set up. Take a look at: How to set up
letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first
page and a different header on other pages.

instructions.


Hope this helps,

My understanding is that when you want to insert a header that will not
appear on the first page but will on all subsequent pages all you need
to
do
is: click on view / header - type header on first page / click on
page
setup on header toolbar / click on layout tab / click on different
first
page
/ apply to whole document / click OK Then the header will appear
on
page
2 and on subsequent pages but not on page one. However, when I did
this
in a
template I have for work it showed up on all pages. If I pulled up a
new
template and tried it again it worked. Is there a better way to set
these
up
and is this some type of problem in Word 2003 that causes this to
happen
intermitently.
