How do I number pages in Word starting from one, beginning on, say, the fifth
page of a document?

You'll need a section break, and then you'll need to unlink the
header/footer in Section 2 from Section 1 so you can omit numbering in
Section 1. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm and/or

Or use the following field construction

{ IF { PAGE } 4 { = { PAGE } - 4 } }

in the Header or Footer as the case maybe where you want the page numbers to
appear. You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { }
