No, you don't need to insert a section break to have a different first
page header. Instead, do the following: On the File menu, click Page
Setup. Click the Layout tab. Check the "Different first page" option,
and click OK. Then click View | Header and Footer, cut the header
contents and paste it into the first page header.

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.
