Sometimes, when you create
a document with numbered pages, you don't want the first page to have a
page number. For example, a title page or a cover page usually has no
page number. Note If your document already has page
numbers, the page number on the cover page is automatically suppressed
when you insert a cover page from the gallery of cover pages in
Microsoft Office Word 2007. Inserting a cover page causes the second
page to be numbered as page 2.
On the Page Layout tab, click the Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Layout tab.
Under Headers and footers, select the Different first page check box, and then click OK.
Notes
If the Different first page check box is already selected, do not clear it. Instead, delete the page number in the First Page Header or First Page Footer area.
If you want the first page to have a header or footer that does
not include a page number, insert the header or footer that you want
while the cursor is in the First Page Header or First Page Footer area.
