Thanks for the tip, it left the first page number off as stated. Is there a
way to remove the second page number also, so page number 3 begins the number
dispalayed but still counts all the pages within the document? e.g. page 3
begins with 3 and pages 1 & 2 are blank.

Use the following field construction in the Header
{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } }
You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and Alt+F9 to toggle
off their display.
If you wanted the number to start from 1 on the second page, use
{ IF { PAGE } 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } }

I need to set up a document (no section breaks) with the header the same on
every page and start numbering on the second page. When I uncheck "number
first page" in the footer, it also deletes the header from the first page.
I've tried inserting the footer/page number and then the header, but
nothing
works. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
