You do _not_ want separate sections. This will make the situation even more
complicated. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm

In your document the pleading numbers are in the header, but not in the
"first-page header." When you check different first page, your header
becomes the continuation page header and a blank first-page header is
displayed.

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.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step
instructions.

Hope this helps,

Thank you, will try you way. I have tried fixing it by unchecking the
different first page on the Page Set up. The pleading on page 1
re-appeared,
then I created different sections for page 1 and 2, such that I was able
to
make different header on them. It worked, though may not be a good way.
Would appreciate advice why the pleadings disappear when different first
page
is checked.

The pleading numbers are in a text box. Just copy the text box
from the second-page header and paste it back into the first-page
header.
