As you've probably already figured out, you omit the page number on the
first page by enabling "Different first page" and then leaving the First
Page Header/Footer empty. To omit it on the last page, instead of a simple
PAGE field, you need to insert this field:
{ IF { PAGE } < { NUMPAGES } { PAGE } }
You need to press Ctrl+F9 to insert the outside pair of field braces, within
which you will type the text (IF and <), but you can use the Insert Page
Number and Insert Number of Pages buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar
to insert the PAGE and NUMPAGES fields.
