Go to File Page Setup. On the Layout tab, check the 'Different First Page'
checkbox. This means that in each (or nominated) sections, the first page of
the section has different headers and footers to the rest of the section.
You can also choose whether all sections use the same first page and
subsequent page headers, or whether they are entirely different for all
sections.

Probably worth creating a dummy document and experimenting, until you're
comfortable with what's going on.

Hi, I have another puzzle.

The first page of each new chapter (chapters are separated
by a section break -next page)is different than the
headers in the rest of the chapter. I have page numbering
at the bottom, continuous through the whole document.
However, if I set page number on for the first page of
each chapter, the header changes to the same text as the
header text in the rest of the chapter.
So, either it seems I can say that the header is different
for the first page, but I won't have a page number, or I
have a page number on the first page, but the same header
as in the rest of the chapter. I don't want that. I want a
page number AND a different header. Any suggestions anyone?

Thank you.
