Sorry for the extraordinary delay in getting back to you on this.  I'm 
literally 2 weeks behind on my e-mails.

On the extremely off chance that this question has not yet been answered in 
the easiest way:

Click on the "Page Layout" tab.  At the very bottom right of that grouping, 
you'll find a very tiny square button with an arrowhead pointing to the 
bottom right corner of it.  Click on that and it brings up the old familiar 
dialog box from which you do what you want to do:  click on the 3rd tab 
there, [layout], and select the check box which says "Different first page." 
Then edit the First Page Footer and remove the Pg.# field, if any.

Dan
