Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, when I place "the insertion point at the beginning of the page you want to be page 1" and click on Odd Page, I get a blank page with the section break at the top of the page, my text that was on page 1 had been moved over one page, and both pages have a 1 in the footer. !! The statement that doing this is "quite easy" is so not true, as is the case with almost every change one wants to make in Word 2010.
