Hi Lea,

Most probably your file has three master pages -- Left, Right, and 
First.  FM creates the L/R automatically when you choose double-sided 
layout, but whoever created your template would have added the First 
master page, in which they created a header without including the 
Running H/F2 variable.  All you need to do is apply the First master 
page to the first page of your file, and you should be OK.

HTH,
