You can attach images to posts here. You do that via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Yes, Word has three header (and footer) types:
• Primary - wdHeaderFooterPrimary
• First Page - wdHeaderFooterFirstPage
• Even Page - wdHeaderFooterEvenPages
and each one can exist in every Section in a document. But, other than the Primary one (which must exist in every Section), the First Page and Even Page headers (and footers) aren't necessarily used in any given Section. Whether your document uses all of them in every Section really depends on how the page layout is configured. Plus, the Primary, First Page and Even Page headers (and footers) for Sections 2 and later can be linked to the corresponding header (or footer) in the preceding Section.

No link to the preceding section, cause the first page of a section is the main or primary page. Am I making sense?

OK, so you only want the header content from the first Section. But which of the three header types does that Section use?
