You need to understand how headers are linked; only like headers are
linked:
First Page Header to First Page Header, Header to Header, etc. When you
unlink a Header in Section 2, you are not unlinking it from the previous
(First Page) header but from the Header in Section 1. If you unlink the
First Page Header in Section 2, you're unlinking it from the First Page
Header (if any) in Section 1. So what you have accomplished is this:

1. In Section 1, you have the graphic in the Header. There is no First
Page
Header and consequently no graphic for the First Page Header.

2. In Section 2, you have the graphic in the First Page Header. When you
get
to a second page, since the Header in Section 2 is linked to the Header
in
Section 1, you're getting the Section 1 graphic.

3. If you disable "Different first page," then you eliminate the First
Page
Header and get the Section 1 graphic on all pages (because the Header is
linked to Section 1).

Here's what you need to do (assuming you want the Section 1 graphic on
every
page of Section 1 and the Section 2 graphic on every page of Section 2):

1. Leave Section 1 as it is.

2. Create a second page in Section 2 if necessary. Unlink the Header
from
the Header in Section 1 (turn off Same as Previous).

3. Copy or cut the graphic from the Section 2 First Page Header and
paste it
into the Header.

4. You can then disable "Different first page" in Section 2, leaving
only
the Header with the Section 2 graphic in it.

Thanks very much for that, Suzanne - you've solved the problem. I shall
keep a copy of your advice for future reference.
