I have a need to format a Word 2007 document where the first page is left blank intentionally. Then the document starts on the 2nd page with a header that will only be used for the first page of the document(actuall 2nd page). So is there a way to format the document where you have ....



Blank Page 1
Start of Document with Header, Page 2
Rest of Document without header, page 3-whatever

Page number will need to start on Page 2 as well and ignore the blank page.

If I could only format a document and then go back and insert a blank page at the begininng that would not interfere with the auto formatting and numbering???

Thanks in advance.

The solution is insert page break with next page.
