Default How not show header in 2nd page of doc??

It's real easy and Word has tons of doc to show how not to have header on
first page of a doc. But I want the header to start on page THREE, with the
page number TWO. I think I have numbering OK but is the only option in
headers to be whether you have first page different from the rest?

BTW, demos seem to only run in IE, not Firefox.

I'm using Office 07 on vista home 64-bit.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Angela,

At the end of your 2nd page, insert a 'Next page' Section break. Then open the header, disconnect it from the previous Section's
header, insert an page # field and format it to start from 2. You don't need a 'different first page' setting for this. This
approach allows you to have TOCs and page# cross-references with the correct values.

If you don't need a TOC or any page# cross-references, you could forego the above and insert a simple formula field in the header.
To do this, open the header and press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces, thus: '{{ }}'. Then fill in amongst the braces with
'{={PAGE}-2 \# 0;;}'. When you're done, press F9 to update the field.
