How do I put header and not page number on first page?
I have tried this and it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

By field construction, I mean the following combination of fields
{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } }
To give you a step by step approach, Type
IF PAGE 1 PAGE
Then in turn, select each of the words PAGE and with it selected, hold down
the Ctrl key and press F9
You will then have
IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE }
Now select all of the above and with it all selected, hold down the Ctrl key
and press F9, you will then have
{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } }
Hold down the Alt key and then press F9 to hide the field codes.

I have the same problem regarding the above. I have no idea what you mean
by
"field construction in the Header", and "field delimiters"??? But I know
how to toggle

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.
