Default Header and footer question

You could insert conditional page fields in the header and footer.
Press Alt+F9 to turn on display of field codes. Put the the following
field in the header:

{ if { page } = 1 "type first-page header text here" }

and the following field in the footer:

{ if { page } = { numpages } "type last-page footer text here" }

Don't type the curly braces; enter them by pressing Ctrl+F9. When
you're done creating the fields, press Alt+F9 again to switch back to
display of field results.

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to insert a header and footer at the start
and end of a document only - i.e. not on the top or bottom of each page,
just the top of the first page (header), and the bottom of the last(
footer)? I hope this makes sense!

If so, how?

Thanks in advance,
