Sounds like you need to unlink sections 1 and 2, they are linked by default.
See "what happens when you have more than one section" on this page:
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm

Also, "different first page" only applies *within* a section.

Also, in Page Setup be sure to pay attention to the "apply to" menu.

Also, re your previous question to John--he just dropped in because someone
alerted him to the thread, and may have now gone away again. I don't think
there is a link to the updated article--I think what John meant is that with
lots of edits and updates, errors got overlooked.
