It makes most sense to make it a Next Page break. You place the insertion
point at the top of page 6 and insert the break.
In some versions of Word the button is labeled Link to Previous; in some it
is Same as Previous (the slash indicates either/or). If the button is pushed
in, it is on. You need to turn it off.
I used the terminology Header/Footer because you didn't specify where you
wanted the page numbers; again, the slash means "or."
You're leaving the First Page Footer empty, so you use the Show Next button
to get to the Footer to insert the page number. The "first page" in this
instance is the first page of Section 2, i.e., page 6, which is now page 1.
You seem to have very little experience dealing with headers and footers, so
I would again recommend that you read

The numbering remains in Section 1, so allow me get clarification on the
directions, assuming we're following route b:
"1. Insert a section break (a) between pages 6 and 7 or (b) between pages
5
and 6. I would advocate (b) because it's more logical."
Which type of Section break would that be To insert a break between 5
and
6, does one place the break at the end of p.5 or at the start of p.6?
"3. If you don't want any numbering in Section 1, click Same as
Previous/Link to Previous on the Header and Footer toolbar to turn it
off,
unlinking Section 1 from Section 2 so that you can leave Section 1 blank."
At this point, scrolling over that icon it reads "Link to Previous" not
"Same as Previous" . I understood it should be unlinked, which it all
ready
appears to be. Is something amiss?
6. "....skip from the First Page Header/Footer to the Footer and use
Insert
Page Number."
Hm...Headers and Footers appear together so I'm not sure what is meant by
skipping from the 1st page Header/Footer to the Footer. Skip from the 1st
page to another page? Or move from Header/Footer to just a Footer somehow?
I just intend to insert numbers into the Footer, beginning on p. 7.
I appreciate this!

Most of what you need to know is detailed at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm, but here's
the gist of it.
1. Insert a section break (a) between pages 6 and 7 or (b) between pages
5
and 6. I would advocate (b) because it's more logical.
2. With the insertion point in Section 2, View | Header and Footer.
3. If you don't want any numbering in Section 1, click Same as
Previous/Link
to Previous on the Header and Footer toolbar to turn it off, unlinking
Section 1 from Section 2 so that you can leave Section 1 blank.
4. If you chose option (b), click on Page Setup and enable "Different
first
page."
5. Click Format Page Number and choose Start at (a) 2 or (b) 1.
6. If you chose option (a), Insert Page Number in the Header/Footer. If
you
used option (b), you don't want a number on page 1, so skip from the
First
Page Header/Footer to the Footer and use Insert Page Number.

If anyone could provide a simple and direct answer, I'd be extremely
grateful. I wish to begin numbering pages on page 7 and start with the
number
2. How is this done?
