How to start a Word document with page 1 starting on second page

I want a document template to have no page numbers on the first page, and on the second page, let the numbering start with 1 (and the third page would be numbered page 2, etc.). I went to this page (http://libanswers.walsh.edu/a.php?qid=162649) and followed the instructions but my second page still has the number 2. I have selected the Different First Page option already.

Any suggestions?

Answer

Activate one of the headers or footers.

This will activate the Design tab of the ribbon.

In the Header & Footer group, click Page Number > Format Page Numbers...

Under Page numbering, click in the box after Start at: and enter the number 0.

Click OK.

The physical first page of the document will now be page 0 (but you don't see that), and the physical second page will be page 1.
