How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in pages 5. I made a custom template using text boxes and when the first page is full, the letterhead moves to the second page and disappears from the first page. How can I keep it on the first page and not moving to the second page.

Hi Hank,
Text Box at the top of Page 1.
Select the Text Box and
Format Panel > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page
That will stop it moving (flowing) with the text.
Top of Page 2
Another way is to put your letterhead in the Page Header of Page 1. Insert a Section Break at the bottom of Page 1 (Click where you want the Section Break and
Menu > Insert > Section Break).
Click in Section 2, and
Document Panel > Section > Headers & Footers > untick Match previous section
Page 1 with letterhead in the Page Header
Page 2

Much simpler and way more useful in Pages '09 where you simply make the first page different and you don't even have to jump through all the hoops of section masters and separate pages for subsequent pages. It generates the pages exactly as wanted with a first page letterhead followed by the appropriate follower sheets.
We have lost so much with this "upgrade" that it really questions what the objective was.

Thank you very much for the solution. The first one you describe seems to work fine. The second one did not for me. The header still moved to the second and did not stay on the first page. If I created one in Page Header, then it stayed on the first page and moved to the second page. I am not sure if I did something wrong in the solution.
In any event, thank you very much.

Hi Hank,
Perhaps my screen shot misled you. It has a tick in 'Match previous section'. Click in that box to remove the tick.
And did you Insert a Section Break at the bottom of Page 1?
Regards, Ian.
Hi Hank,
I am glad to help, and thank you for the green tick. Please keep posting in Pages for Mac.

Ian.
