I create a section break between the first and second pages.
I then went to the second page in Page LayOut and selected > Different First Page.
I then went to the First Page > Page Setup > set a 2 inch margin for the first page.
I then went to the Second page > Page SetUp > set a 1.5 inch top margin.
I then created textboxes to hold pleading numbers on both Page 1 and Page 2.
Everything aligns (body text and pleading numbers).
The Page 2 textbox and pleading numbers carry forward correctly to all subsequent pages.
After typing the document, I went to footer to put in the page numbers.
This is where the problem appears to be.
Page 1 Footer shows: Footer Section 1
Page 2 Footer shows: First Page Footer Section 2
When I enter the Page number and Number of pages on the second page,
it does NOT carry forward to the subsequent pages. If I also add
Page number and Number of pages on the third page, it does NOT appear
to count the pages, showing ALL as page 3.
WHERE AM I GOING WRONG?

When there are multiple footers, and you want the page number field in all of them, you must add the field to each footer.
Double-click the header to activate the header/footer area, click where you want the page number field and insert it with Alt+Shift+P. Go to other footers, as required and repeat the insertion of the page number field.
Note that when you make use of "Different first page" to deal with the margins, you probably don't need a section break at the end of the first page, which would simplify the document by reducing the number of sections.
