Yes. On the Layout tab of Page Setup, check the box for "Different first
page," then put your header in the First Page Header. If you're setting up a
letterhead, you might also want to see

At the end of your first page go to Insert=>Break=>under Section break types
select Next page radiobutton. Then go to your second page and there to
View=>Header and Footer. After Header and Footer toolbar have appeared click
Link to Previous icon there. Then select the content of your second page
header and delete it.
You are done.

Dear Suzanne,
Thank you very much for your brilliant help text of "How to set up a letter
template".
The information of different header for the first page is very useful.
Although I have two questions/comments:
1. I do not agree with your assertion that: "tables in headers can be a
source of problems". Can you please specify? An empty paragraph following the
table is not really a problem as you may choose the font size of this
paragrah equal to 1 and it will not be virtually visible. On the other hand
tables offer many options individual for each cell as compared to meager
three tab stops of default settings.Also with tables there is no need to use
frames.
2. I think that creating a mail merge document is a much better option than
a template. A mail merge document is linked to an addressee table so you have
to enter name, address, phone # and other data. only once for every adressee
and select it rather than type again any time you have to write a letter to
that person.

Template or mail merge is not an either-or type of question. I do my mail
merges based on new documents based on templates. I start with a letterhead
template. I open it and save it as a separate template and add the merge
data file and merge fields to it. When I want to send a letter to someone
who is in my database, I use a new document based on _that_ merge template.
I use the basic template (which has a userform) to gather data for other
letters. One option on the userform is to gather address and subject
information from a previous letter.

For some reason my previous reply did not go through so I have to repeat it.
I do similarly. I have a couple of mail merge documents that are also
templates (an informal letter, a business letter, a fax, etc.). They have
letterheads in headers and fields such as date, name, address, etc. in
bodies.
The point is that Suzanne Barnhill put the name and address of an addressee
(that were not merge fields) into a letterhead which, I think, is *not* a
correct approach.

No, I don't put the name and address of an addressee into the template. I
create the appropriate paragraph styles for the Inside Address, Salutation,
etc. The name(s) and address in the header are the letterhead (return
address).
If you are comfortable with a table in the header, feel free to use one.
I've just never made a letterhead that required one.
