Legal Pleading and Header

[Burn Notice]

I am using the "Legal Pleadings" template, but I need a 3 inch blank space at
the top of Page #1. I set the document to use a different header for the
first page to create the blank area, but when I do this the line numbers on
page one disappear and the page vertical lines also disappear. The line
numbers and vertical page border lines are present on the rest of the pages.

Thanks for any help!!

When you turned on "Different First Page" you essentially created a new
Section. This new section does not include the attributes you want, just turn
them on for this particluar section.
Hope this helps

Actually, "Different first page" creates a new *header* (and a new footer)
within a section, not a whole new section.

Creating a new header is a problem in Word's pleading template because the
template depends on a text box (or possibly a frame or table cell) anchored
to a header for the line numbering.

However, you should be able to fix this by copying the text box from the
main header into the newly created first page header. If you currently
cannot see the second page header, insert a page break into the document
(you can delete this later).

To activate the header/footer area, just double-click the header.
