Default Word Letthead nightmare

Hello everyone, I've searched all over the web for a solution to this but to no avail. My problem is that I need to create a template that has a specific header on the first page and a different header on all subsequent pages.

I've been able to do this pretty easily via the "different first page" option but whenever I copy/paste text into my the document it repeats the first page header on the second page. If I just do regular carriage returns to create more pages instead of copy/pasting it works fine but having to mess around with this manually each time I need to send a document is a complete nightmare. Please help

Attach an example of your document. It's probably to do with where you are entering your copy/paste text. Or a brain on here will tell you different!!

"Different first page" should do what you want. However, if there is a section break in the document, you may actually have two first page headers (one per section), and you will then have to unlink the headers.

Note that Word can have up to three different headers (and footers) per section--first page, even page, odd page. This is the case if you have selected both "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" in Page Setup (or on the Header & Footer Tools Design tab of the ribbon). See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm.

Specific information on how to create a letterhead can be found in the article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm.

I don't have a section break and I only have "different first page" selected, not "different odd/even pages". I checked the links provided but it's the same info that I've seen before.

What I find really odd is that if I do a bunch of carriage returns it works fine, even if I copy/paste a page worth of them but if I copy and paste some other kind of text is when it gets messed up.

OK, maybe it's time for the attached example, as "jujuwillis" suggested. :-)
