Answer #1
  1. Insert your header to your completed document
  2. Go to File - Page Setup - Layout
  3. Check the box that says ‘Different First page’ - ok
  4. Leave your first page header empty.
  5. Fill in the header on your second page
Answer #2

Unfortunately I only know how to do it on my version of word 08, it’s on a mac so I dont know if it is different, but it’s view, header and footer, type it in to the second page, then go to view, formatting palette, and there’s a little box you can check that says different first page. If this is completely different on your word, go to help, and search for header
