How do I get a Header to appear only on the first page of a doc.?

[Guest]

How do I stop a header from appearing on all the pages in a document? I only
want it to appear on the first page.

Use File>Page Setup>Layout>Different First Page. Also see:

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)

You need to first check "Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page
Setup, then put your header in the First Page Header. For more, see
