Default Page Numbers and Section--Starting Page # after Title

I typically use Different first page. I only see one header/footer combo on
page 1--no primary/secondary. Insert-Page numbers is dangerous! :-) I don't
know if Word has macros, but it would be good to have one that cleared out
(anchored) page numbers.

I was able to create a test document with a 0 the first sheet, 1 on the
second, so on. I wonder if I can copy all the text out of the six page
document into a new document and it will lose the footer/headers?

For the second, in this particular case a section break is unnecessary. On
the Layout tab of Page Setup, check the box for "Different first page." This
will create a First Page Header/Footer in addition to the primary
Header/Footer. Leave the First Page Header/Footer empty and use the Insert
Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert a page number
in the Header/Footer. Then use the Format Page Number button to open the
dialog where you can set "Start at 0." This will result in the second page
being numbered 1.
