MS Word: How to display header on first page only?

Solution 1:

1. At least in my version (2016), the header tools only become visible in the ribbon after double-clicking somewhere in the header or footer area.

2. The problem was that the doc was too short. Here's how I finally got it to work:

   • temporarily add enough carriage returns or dummy text so the doc reaches at least to a page and a half total.

   • copy the contents of the header and stick it somewhere in the document temporarily.

   • check the box for "different first page" (from the header tools).

   • don't panic if the header disappears from both pages -- just copy and paste it back into the header area in the first page and restore formatting (e.g. centering).

   • remove all the temporary stuff from the body.
