That's the idea, of course: headers and footers are intended precisely for information that you want to appear automatically on all pages. But the header (or footer) is associated with the page style of pages on which it appears. So if you want no header on the first page but headers on all the rest, you merely need to apply one page style to the first page and a different page style (at least) to the other pages. You may find that the First Page and Default page styles will serve your purpose - or you could create you own, of course.

Once you have your two styles, you can set the header on or off using either Format | Page... | Header or else Insert | Header >. You could have either no header or a different - perhaps empty - header on your first page. All that is left is to arrange that the style change takes place between the first and second page. There are two ways to do this:

o If there is a fixed place in the text where this should occur, you can insert a manual page break. Go to Insert | Manual Break..., select "Page break", and then set the new page style (possibly "Default") from the drop-down list under Style.

o If you need the text to flow naturally across the break from page one to page two, then you need to set the Next Style property of your first page's page style to be the required following page style. Go to Format | Page... | Organizer and select the appropriate style there. You will notice that the default First Page page style already has Default page style set as its Next Style.

I trust this helps.
