Mr. Kenyon.
First thank you for responding.
In regard to:
Quote:
NO SECTION BREAK

Set the top margin for 1.5 inches.

Edit the header and set it for Different First Page.

On the first page header, put something in the header which is invisible and take an extra half-inch. Something like a blank borderless text box or an empty paragraph or two. That substitutes for the 2 inch top margin for page 1 without any section break.

Do not put any page number in the first-page footer.
Do insert a page number in the main footer.

Put your line numbering in both the first-page header and the continuation page header.

I know it is annoying but I gave you those links because they help you understand what is happening.

I am a lawyer. I have been producing pleadings in Word for more than thirty years now.

I understand that you are not producing letterhead, but the concepts are the same. You are faking a different margin on the first page by putting something in the header. That unneeded section break is the cause of much of your frustration.
Following the above, Everything appears to be working per the Courts requirements other than I'm still a little confused over the First page Header setting.


I selected "Different First Page" > Top Margin 1.5 inch > Apply to Whole Document.
I then changed Page Setup Header setting to 2.0 inches.
I initially put in a textbox (which somewhere along the line disappeared), so
I used 3 paragraphs (empty) instead, which appears to have widen the header, and pushed
down the body lines.
The header on page 2 and subsequent pages does NOT seem to contain the three (3) empty paragraphs.
Since word does NOT appear to have a vertical ruler, it is hard to tell what the top margins are without printing or measuring, but based on my visual there appears that page 1 is different than page 2 onward.
So things have changed significantly for the better.
I also added footer page numbering starting on page 2, and page number works correctly, with no page number reflected on page 1.


Sorry for the disconnect on the field issue. I realize when one selects page and number of pages from the floating header/footer toolbar they are getting a field Not text.
