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

For an answer to the first question, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm

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.

First, how do I get rid of page numbers I've inserted into a document with
Insert-Page No.s? This is an ordinary document. No pictures or special
editing.

Next, I have a document that has about 6 pages. The first page is a title
page. I'd like to start page number on the second page. Supposedly one can
do this by using sections. I tried to insert a section after the end of
text on the title page, but I get a blank page inserted. Now I have an
extra page. How do I use sections to number pages?
