I want to number pages but leave "page 1" off of the first page and begin on
page 2 with "Page 2"). How?
 
Through Format, when you select how you want numbers to appear i.e.
front,left, or rigth, add a check mark to: "excluding first page".
 
If you have not yet inserted the page numbers, then click on
Insert | Page Numbers | uncheck the "Show number on first page"
box | OK.

If you already inserted the page numbers, then click on View |
Header and Footer, select the page number field, and click on
Insert | Page Numbers | uncheck the "Show number on first page"
box | OK.
 
Assuming you are not using Insert | Page Numbers (since you've got text in
front of the number), click on the Page Setup button on the Header and
Footer toolbar and check the box for "Different first page." This will give
you a separate First Page Header/Footer, which you can leave empty.
