Neither of those approaches would be easy. A macro might be used to configure each Section with a 'different first page' layout, but the code for telling Word which page goes to what bin is printer specific and depends on what paper bins/feeds are attached to the printer and how those are configured at the printer. That is where the real challenge lies. Such a macro might be coded along the lines of:
Code:
Sub Demo()
Dim Sctn As Section
For Each Sctn In ActiveDocument.Sections
  With Sctn.PageSetup
    .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True
    .FirstPageTray = wdPrinterUpperBin
    .OtherPagesTray = wdPrinterDefaultBin
    ' Depending on the printer configuration, you
    ' might need to swap the above bin definitions
    ' around or change them to any of:
    ' wdPrinterPaperCassette
    ' wdPrinterAutomaticSheetFeed
    ' wdPrinterLowerBin
    ' wdPrinterMiddleBin
    ' wdPrinterLargeCapacityBin
  End With
Next
End Sub
Note all the commented out alternative variables that might apply...
