I set up a template with "First Page" as the style of page one, with margins I want, and no footer, and follow it with a default style page, again setting the margins I like, but including a footer with a page number inserted therein (I like them centered.) I then either enter text or cut and paste from various programs. The second page of my template appears as 2, but I think I could change that. So far have never wanted to.

I then centre the footer so the literal page and the page number appear in the middle of the page.
