Hello. In my footer I have page numbers. Page 1 repeats itself, but then
page 2, page 3, etc. are fine. How do I change my footer/page numbers so
that I just have 1, 2, 3, etc. and not 1, 1, 2, 3, etc.? Thank you.

You probably have a section break after the first page 1, and the page
numbers restart in the second section. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm for an
explanation of how that's accomplished. You want the opposite.

If you want to keep the section break, put the cursor anywhere in Section 2,
click View > Header and Footer, and click the Page Number Format button on
the Header toolbar (the hand pointing to a # sign). In the resulting dialog,
click "Continue from previous section" and OK. Then close the header.
