Suzanne,
You've been a huge help! And made it so easy too. But one small glitch
remains. I believe I've followed your simple instructions to the "T" . . .
but, there remains a header on the first page as well as on all subsequent
pages. How do I get rid of the blank header spaces? Because if left in
then I cannot type my letter or other stuff in that blank header space which
leaves my typewritten stuff w/ a large space at the top of the printed page.
Again, thanks in advance for your help. And the simplicity in which you
presented it too. BTW, you were correct in your assumption, I am using Word
2003.

Assuming this is Word 2003 or earlier (if it's Word 2007, someone else
will
have to help):
1. View | Header and Footer.
2. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click the Page Setup button. Check
the
box for "Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page Setup, OK.
3. On the H&F toolbar, click the button for Switch Between Header and
Footer.
4. If you find yourself in the First Page Footer, leave it empty and click
the button for Show Next to get to the Footer.
5. On the toolbar, press the arrow beside Insert AutoText and choose "Page
X
of Y." This will insert "Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }."
6. Type "pages" after the second number. Lowercase the first "page" if
desired.
7. Press Ctrl+E in the paragraph to center it.

Go easy on a non-geek.
I've tried to absorb directions about Word's pagination. It's not easy
particularly when Word pages must
(1) start numbering from the 2nd page,
(2) read as "page 2 of 12 pages" "page 3 of 12 pages" etc
Could someone give me instructions in plain ordinary English language.
Perhaps readability at the sixth grade level? Seriously.
Thanks in advance.
