I had a similar problem. I want to know how do I make the word document not
show the page number on the first page. In essence I want it to start
numbering pages on the 2nd page. I tried the 0 trick you told the previous
person about, but now I just have a 0 as the page number for the 1st page. I
don't want any number on that first page.
