You have to unlink the second section from the first and delete the page
numbers from the first.

Hello,

I need to not have any page numbers at the start of my document, and
to have
page numbers at a certain point in my document. However, when I
insert a
page break, and then insert page numbers, page numbers are being
inserted in
Both sections of my document. What can I do?

Thank you!
