Thanks Charles. This was a great solution, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
work with lower case roman numerals (i,ii,iii,...) Looks like I'll just have
to have two separate documents...my cover page without page numbering and
then a separate document with the pages numbered.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Steve

If all you want is page numbers displayed on the pages (not a Table of
Contents) you can insert a calculation field in the header (having selected
the different first page option so the header starts on page two).

{ = {Page} - 1 }

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm.
For even more, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Page_Numbering.htm.

I'm using MS Word 2002.

I need the second page of my document to be labeled, "1".

I checked the Page Setup/Layout tab/Different first page checkbox and then
inserted page numbers to no avail.

I have also tried adding a Section Break on the first page. Then breaking
the connection between the footer on the first and second pages. Then
inserting page numbers with the "Start at:" field set to 0, but Word keeps
asking for a number between 1 and 32766.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance!
