Use different page styles for the first and subsequent pages.  Set 
the header only for the subsequent pages (or use an empty header on 
the first page).  Either insert a manual page break after the first 
page or set the subsequent page style as the "next style" for the 
first page style.  The existing "First Page" and "Default" page 
styles will do this for you automatically.

Either disable the facility at Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | 
Options | Apply Border or - more easily - just use Edit | Undo (or 
Ctrl+Z) immediately the unwanted correction occurs.

Paragraph... | Indents & Spacing | Line spacing or Edit Paragraph 
Style... | Indents & Spacing | Line spacing, as appropriate.

Disable at Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options | URL Recognition 
or use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z) as above.  Or right-click | Remove Hyperlink.

> 5. Indents  - where and how to change

Paragraph... | Indents & Spacing | Indent or Edit Paragraph Style... 
| Indents & Spacing | Indent.

See Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General and File | Properties... 
| General.

Edit | Changes > | Record.

Character... | Font Effects | Strikethrough or Edit Paragraph 
Style... | Font Effects | Strikethrough.

Depends on exactly what you want to do.  Use "$" in regular 
expressions in Find & Replace.

Ask your operating system.

11. (The question you didn't ask)  Where do I find the answers to 
these questions?

Download the Writer Guide or study the embedded help system.  Or both.

I trust this helps.
