The other two replies would work, but wow, do they seem a lot more
complicated than necessary.

Here is how I add cover pages:
Place cursor at beginning of the first page of your document.
Go to Insert - Break. Select "Next page".
Go to File - Page Setup - Layout. Enable "Different First Page".
Go to Insert - Page Numbers. Disable "Show number on first page".
In the same dialog, click Format. Select "Start at" and set the number to
zero.

Now you can add your cover page text to the first page in the document. If
there is any text in the cover page header/footer, simply delete that
header/footer text. The other headers/footers will be unaffected.

I am using headers and footers and want the cover sheet to be included in
the document.
