Default Can I insert section breaks that do not move with text?

I have a template for a letter with different first page and follow on
headers and footers. Each time I type more than 1 page I have to manually
move the section break to compensate for the text exceeding the first page.
Is there a way to set the section break so the text just flows onto the
second page with its different header/footer?

If you have "Different first page" enabled, you don't need the section break
(and in fact it's just messing you up). For correct use of these features,
see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm
