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.

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!
