I think the preferred option is to use the First Page style for the first page
(you can apply it by bringing up the Styles toolbar and selecting the page
style icon). It has no footer, and flows naturally to the Default page style.
Once you have a second page, you can set the footer and page numbering as above
on that. From there on, the Default style will be used.
Aha, yes, of course. I did try that one time, and can't remember why I gave up
on it. It seemed like such a good idea.
Would that work with a master document, too? I have a master document for a
book, which pulls in thirty or so chapters which I keep in individual
documents. Perhaps I could have a standard front page as the First Page style?

Haven't played much with those for a while, but it sounds like a good thing to
know how that would work. Do you want each new chapter's first page unnumbered,
and the remainder numbered within the chapter starting at 2, or what? You can
certainly modify the First Page style, or use it as a base for your own
No, that's not my job. The first page is merely a front cover with the book
and my details, then the pages should have a header with my name, the name of
the book and the page number starting at '1'. Standard manuscript style, in
other words. The master document is new for me since I began the first
re-write, and quickly saw how much easier it would be to handle each chapter
separately and incorporate it into a master document rather than using cut and
paste or some method of re-writing a chapter in situ.

I think that if you set up a page style of your own (with itself as the
next page style), insert a manual break from the first page to start
that style at page 1, and set your header in it with the page number
either there or in a footer, you'll be able to use that style for all
your subdocuments and get what you're after. Once the page numbers start
incrementing, they should keep going through the whole document as it is
assembled. I haven't actually tried it yet, though.
