Header on first page only

[cc]

I want a header on just the first page of my document, but I can't seem to
figure out how to do it. It either ends up on every other page, or every page.
I have Word 97. I'm sure I'll groan when I hear the answer, but can someone
help?

In File, Page Setup, Layout tab, select the Different First Page Option. Now
when you go to H&Fs, you'll find separate H&Fs for the first page of each
section. But the final trick is that by default, the H&Fs are set to 'Same
As Previous' You need to click on the icon on the H&F Toolbar for the
following H&F and then delete the first page H&F.

"Same as Previous" applies only to corresponding headers/footers in
different sections; it unlinks sections. It is not even enabled if the
document has only one section. The First Page Header, Header, Even Page
Header, and Odd Page Header are always separate in any given section; if you
want the same content in more than one, you have to copy/paste it or insert
it separately. Moreover, you can unlink specific headers/footers. For
example, you can unlink the Odd Page Header in Sections 1 and 2 but leave
the Even Page Header and First Page Header linked.
