That it was it. Thank you!

Sounds like "Section start" for the very first section is set to "Even
page"; you should change it to "Odd page" (Page Setup dialog box).

I have a document with a page field in the footer for all pages, including
the first. I am unable to get Word to start at page one on the first
page.
It will begin as page 2 even if I manually set the first pate as one in
the
format page number dialog box. If I set it to zero, it works, but I don't
want zero, of course, I want it to start at one. I do have section breaks
so
that all chapters start on an odd page, which might be causing the
problem.
Any ideas? Thank you.
