Creating a letterhead with continuation pages

[office_idiot]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I can just about manage to create a letterhead template but I cannot work out how to get the continuation pages to follow on. All I can manage is the whole letterhead needlessly and wastefully repeating page after page, surely there is a way of having the letterhead as a one off page one and then all subsequent pages with a much pared down content??

Try creating the first page with the header. then get out of header.
the hit return one or two lines the create a section break in that go to
header and make sure that whatever header information you need. If you
need to do so gain repeat with section Break.

The only time you might run into problems is if you create PDF and you
use Acrobat's Adobe PDF print Driver. It doesn't know how to handle
word/excel page and section breaks so it divides the pdf's along each
section or page Breaks. You have to rejoin the pieces in acrobat. Now
if your using Word2008 you can choose *Save As...* PDF and get around
that problem Unless you have switched Page orientation.

OR choose Format > Document > Layout and choose different first page.

I've gone to the expense of having a letterhead designed professionally and it makes use of both header and footer, the foooter containing company name and reg no as well as reg office address, I don't need that at the foot of each subsequent page, all I need on subsequent pages is a page counter that knows it's starting at p2 and counts up from there.
What I'm currently doing to get round it is creating 2 docs - a page 1 doc and then a subsequent pages doc - this requires the recipient to assemble the doc at the other end and I feel I should be able to do that for them. The only other way would be to print and then scan and save the doc as a pdf, but that seems unecessarily longwinded.....This is such a simple and everyday need I can't believe it hasn't been thought about.

Try creating the first page with the header. then get out of header.

It has been figured out. You just have to do as Phillip mentions, use a
different 1st page and subsequent pages will have the different
header/footer.

Perhaps the professional who designed your letterhead can assist?

I don't know whether he saw the other suggestion I made that would be
possibly even easier.

Format > Document > Layout , choose different first page.

Did you tell the designer that you wantted a multi-page letterhead
template?... Or did the individual bother to ask ? See the info at the
bottom of this article:

No bad I had it almost right in my second answer. (Format
