You're close... the field is { IF { PAGE } 1, { PAGE } }. Another way
to do this is to click on File | Page Setup | Layout | check the
"Different first page" box.

Is there a method of omitting page number on 1st and retaining the rest of
headers/footers (so it doesn't have to be typed in again)

someone suggested:

{ IF { Page } 1 "{ Page }" }

sounds logical, but i cant get this to work at all - do fields use IF
operator?
