To be more consistent with OpenOffice.org and it's styles model, you would do it as follows: Insert -> Manual Break -> Page Break on the first page. Change first page to "First page" style either through the Stylist, or by right-clicking on the page style in status bar. The second page (and onwards) will still be Default style. Insert -> Header/Footer -> Default Insert Page Number in Header/Footer. All done.
