I am trying to create a document that contains a header and footer. But this
need to show on the first page only.

When I copy a previous document into the new one, the header and footer jump
down to the second or third page.

Also the page set up does not "stick" in place but changes

Can anyone help

You need to use the "Different first page" option. See
