Incorrect info in Help file?

Hi All!

This morning my boss wanted me to set up our main letter template so
that if he wrote more than a one page letter the header would not
appear on any other page after the first one.

I have to say, having read the Help File instructions on inserting
page breaks and such I spent a frustrating half hour with my headers
and footers dissapearing altogether, the header reappearing on the
second page, a spare page appearing at the end of the file. You name
it, it happened.

The instruction are as follows:-

To set up different headers or footers for odd and even pages — or for
a different first page — insert a manual page break in the one-page
template, create the headers or footers you want, and then delete the
page break. Then create a document based on the template. The headers
and footers will appear when the document becomes more than one page.

Eventually I abandoned this and looked around a bit. On the menu
File
Page Setup
Layout

there is an option to produce a different first page header/footer. I
clicked that on and that sorted the problem.

Why the help file doesn't just say that I don't know. I wish that it
had!
