Page Numbers and Different First Page

[RonTheGuy]

Folks,

I want to make a doc start with a cover page that has no footer. Footers
should start on the second page and number ii, iii, etc. The body of the
doc starts on the seventh page where page numbers start after a section
break running 1, 2, 3, etc. I haven't figured out the right combination
of options to make this work.


The closest I've gotten is to disable "Different First Page" in Page
Setup and insert the page number on the first page with "Show number on
first page" disabled. The cover has no page # but that still leaves me
with other unwanted footer information on the cover page. Setting Page
Setup to Different First Page always makes the page # on the cover page
visible. How do I do it? Word 2003, Win XP.

TIA,
Ron

Why not put a section break at the end of the cover page and set the
footer so that it isn't the Same as Previous?
