how I paste in information on a new page set with a header? Need to add
headers to each page of my report but when I try cut/paste in report to new
headered sheet, header disappears. Can't seem to insert headers. Any
help?? Please mail me back ASAP at [email protected]

There are two factors involved here:

1. When you cut/copy material from one document to paste into another, you
need to be careful to omit the last paragraph mark, which contains the
document-level formatting. If you include it, then all the formatting from
the source document (including the [empty] header) will be pasted into the
target document. An easy way to insert the entire content of one document
into another is to use Insert | File.

2. If the target document is completely empty, however, then Insert | File
does not function as expected; instead, it brings in the formatting of the
source document anyway. The workaround is to press Enter a couple of times
(in the target document) before inserting the file; remove these empty
paragraphs after inserting.
