Removing Headers/Footers in Word Oh-F*cking-Seven

Ok, so I made a cover page in Word 2007. This, of course, created an unwanted header + footer for the rest of the document. I did what seemed reasonable: went to the 2nd page, inserted a Next Page break at the top, double-clicked into the 2nd page header, de-selected Link to Previous, clicked Remove Header. A blank header remained (f*ck!) -- btw, Different First Page is enabled the whole time.

I ditched this Document, went to start a new one, and now blank Headers are on every page, and they won't remove. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't have another document in mind, and finding one would be a long and unnecessary task.

I just need to know how to remove a header, regardless of the page. I mean, I started a fresh blank document, and a blank header is there as if it were a default setting. I can't find where that setting would have been made, and it won't let me delete the blank header.
