It appears that the only way to number pages in OpenOffice is to insert page numbers into a header or footer. However, if I do this on the second page of a document, it creates the header/footer on the first page as well, where I don't want a page number.
Secondly, is there any way to revise the header or foot in the midst of a document (I understand about left and right pages), or does each chapter have to be a separate document?

Both questions can be answered by using Page Styles. Header and footer contents -- both text and variables like page numbers -- are attached to a page style.
So for your first issue, the easiest fix would be to use the First Page style for the first page and default for the rest.
Same reasoning applies to changing headers and footers in the middle of the document. Just create and use a different page style. Although you should note that OOo has variables for Chapter titles available that you can use just as easily as page numbers.
There's a lot you can do this way, so you probably should invest a little quality time with the Help system and the User's guide (available on the OOo website).
