In Word 2002, how do you set up the Headers to skip the first page?

You have to insert a section break and set the header of the second section to not mimic the first one.

I don't have Word 2002 in front of me, so this is a bit theoretical (tested it on Word for Mac OS X). The answer to your question depends on whether your header includes page numbers.

This is what I did:

- If your header does not include page numbers, then put in the header the normal way. Then, look for Format Document and see if there's a checkbox for headers and footers called "different first page." Click on that. When you check your first page, you'll see that it has no header at all. If you want a different header on it, then, making sure your cursor is on that page, insert a header the normal way.

- If you header does include page numbers, then insert a new section (as sventhelost suggested). With the cursor in that section, go to Format Document, click on "different first page" and make sure that it's set to Apply to This Section.

(If this doesn't make sense--and boy did the first draft make no sense--blame it on the vicodin and the fact that I don't have a PC or Word 2002 in front of me.)
