I have to type up the minutes of the monthly meeting of an organization I am
a member of, so when I open the file I want there to be a "blank" page with
our logo "auto header" at the top. Then if I scroll down a page I will find
the previous months notes. Either this, or it auto open to the first blank
page at the end, so I don't have to scroll through an ever increasing amount
of pages.
I know how to do the header, if someone could just tell me how to open to a
blank page. This would be the same as sorting by newest first, I hope I have
explained this good enough.

When the document opens on the first page, you have two choices:

(1) You can press Ctrl+Enter to insert a page break to create a new
first page before the existing text, then Left Arrow to get to the
starting point. Or...

(2) You can press Ctrl+End to go to the end of the document and press
Ctrl+Enter to start a new page at the end of the document.

If you remember to press Ctrl+Enter to start a new page in either
place before you save and close the current minutes, it will be ready
to start the next month's entry as soon as you open (remember Ctrl+End
if needed).
