Provided all the footers are still linked (as they are by default), just set
"Different first page" in the first section. This will give you a separate
First Page Footer in that section, which you will leave blank. Then use
Insert Page Number (on the Header and Footer toolbar) to insert a page
number in the Footer.

Thanks everyone, I have now sorted this out, its a planning document for a
school, so hence why every few pages there is a new header . Now can
anyone
help me by telling me how I can get all the pages except page one
numbered,
bearing in mind some of them now have section breaks every now and then.
Will I have to do it manually or is there another way.

Good point. I didn't notice that the question was about a document
consisting of a big table.

Note, however, that section breaks will break your table, so if you
can
manage this with StyleRef fields, you'll be better off.

How are the headers different from each other? If they should
reflect
some text on the page, you could use StyleRef fields (assuming
that
the text to reference has a specific character or paragraph style
applied). For more, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm.

If you need to perform other changes to headers (footers), you
must
create sections and unlink headers, so that they can have
different
contents. To insert a section break: On the Insert menu, click
Break.
Click "Next page", and then click OK.

When you have the desired number of sections, click ViewHeader
and
Footer. On the Header/Footer toolbar there is a button (depending
on
your version of Word, the button may say "Link to previous" or
"Same
as previous"). Click that button to turn off the linkage (which is
turned on by default for newly created sections).

Note that a section can have up to three types of headers (and
footers), namely, if you've enabled the "Different first page" and
"Different odd and even" options on the Layout tab of FilePage
Setup.
If it does, you have to unlink each type of header (footer).

I am filling in a table on word, this is a written document not
numerical,
page one and two do not need headers, I have somehow managed to
leaves
these out.
Page 3, 4 and 5 have the same header, this is fine, now I am
stuck
as to
what to do.
Pages 6 & 7 will have the same header (but different to 3 - 5),
then pages 8 & 9 will again need a completely different header,
and
so on.

Can anyone help me by explaining simple steps of what to do so
that
I can
achieve this.

Thank you.
