How do I set up a letterhead template with a continuation page
Nice article, Suzanne. The point about setting 2nd page layout first, even
thought counter-intuitive, helped. Since I have produced a document with a next page section break, the template will always produce 2 pages, whether there is sufficient text to run to page 2 or not. Does this mean I need to produce two templates, a one-page or a two-pager, or is there a one-size-fits-all solution? Does my question make sense? Thanks, Wendy "Suzanne S.

How do I set up a letterhead template with a continuation page
The whole idea of using "Different first page" is to avoid use of a section
break. Section breaks just don't work for letters because if you start typing at the beginning, you will just keep extending Section 1 unless you intentionally start typing after the break, which most typists won't instinctively do. Not to mention that, as you say, a template with a section break will always produce two pages even when only one is needed. The only case where section breaks make sense (sometimes) is when you have a significant logical break, such as after a title page or TOC, and the second section will always be needed. To answer your specific question, no, you absolutely don't need two templates. The solution I describe will work regardless of how many pages the document has. Word will remember the Header/Footer to use when the document exceeds a single page. -- Suzanne S.

Methinks I didn't read your instructions carefully enough. I will try again.

How do I set up a letterhead template with a continuation page
To Suzanne and To Charles,
Thanks for the leads. What was fuzzy and frustrating on Friday worked beautifully and correctly on a clear Monday morning.

Glad you got it sorted. It's a very simple (but powerful) concept once you

How do I set up a letterhead template with a continuation page
Wendy, The idea is that you have a single template that works no matter how many pages you have. The continuation page header is there in the template even if your document is only one page. You don't want the section break. For more, 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. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not).
