Embedded Approach
You could also just have the header information at the top of the first page as part of the page content. If it's already been created as a header, you can cut and paste into the body of the page. If you are creating the document or template from scratch, you could simply enter the content on page one and format it using the standard Word options, features, and functions rather than use the Header options.
Letterheads are often positioned outside the margins of the normal page. If you enter them as part of the page body, you may need to adjust things like margins on the first page and then add a section break and change those settings back before the second page. A simpler approach in this situation is to embed the letterhead components as objects, like an image or text box. This lets you position them wherever you want without affecting the page layout.
Insert it at the top of the first page and resize, move, or format it to emulate a header, positioned where you want it. For example, in the below screenshot (and moving GIF), I inserted a text box, pasted a picture into that, positioned it where I wanted it to be located, hid the outline, etc. and then put the other text and long appended underbar and formated all the colors how I wanted those parts.
With a little trial and error, finding these and other built in Microsoft Office Word features and functions with the version of Word on your PC, you could build your own custom header at the top of the first page this way too.
