Different image on the header

[Rashdan]

Hi!
I want to have a different header image on the first page and different
header image for rest of the document. But the text in the headers should be
the same. Meaning that, all the headers have the same text but only first
header should have a different image. Please tell me how can I do this.
I'm using Word 2003.

Within the Page Setup, select Different First Page. Now you will have a
different Header (and Footer) for the first page of this section, in other
words you can edit this without affecting the rest of the section.
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, but as I explained earlier, the headers contains text
as well, which is same on all the pages, so if I change the header or any
page, it should be updated on all the pages, including the first page.
In your solution, I've to explicitly change the text in first page header. I
just want to change the logo on the first page, the text should remain the
same as the rest of the document, and should also be updated if any of the
page's header is changed.

Please help.

That's not how headers work. Consider them as completely independent
unconnected entities. If you want the text to be the same in both headers,
copy it to both headers. Change the logo only in the first page header.

Rashdan, I did understand your first posting but I don't think it is
possible. If you want a different Header for the first page, you cannot do
what you want, ie have the text (and only the text) to still change across
headers.
You can play with bookmarks and cross-references, but again you will need to
open the second header and update these anyway. As References within the
Header/Footer level do not update automatically or with going to normal/print
view trick.
Maybe someone else can hop in here with a suggestion if one exists.
All the best.

You could abandon the different headers and use a conditional field eg

{IF {Page} = 1 "Insert the first page image here" "Insert the subsequent
pages image here"}

Of course! (slap-forehead) always forget about these conditional fields.
Many thanks Graham
