<h3>How do I make a header appear on only the first page of my document?</h3>
<P><!-- ^^^ -->Follow these steps: 
</P>
<UL>
	<LI><P>Open a new word processing
	document. 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Enter some or all of the data that
	you want on your cover (1st) page (or simply hit the return key a
	few times) 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Select: Format-&gt;Stylist 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Click on the Page style icon
	(fourth one from the left) 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Double-click on the Page style
	called &quot;First Page&quot;. The page style name should appear on
	the status bar below your document. It is also possible at this
	point to create your own first page style. You may close the Stylist
	now, if desired. 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Select: Insert-&gt;Manual Break...
		</P>
	<LI><P>Select the button next to &quot;Page
	Break&quot;. Then choose the style to use for the next page (pick
	one from the menu - such as &quot;Standard&quot;). 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Click OK. 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Now you should have two pages. Put
	your cursor in the first page, then select: Insert-&gt;Header-&gt;First
	Page from the pulldown menus. 
	</P>
	<LI><P>A header area will appear on the first page. Use the
	OpenOffice.org tools to insert whatever you want in the header area.
		</P>
