Maybe you are missing how to use the page styles. In the Sylist, or whatever it is called now, locate the page style icon by hovering the mouse pointer over the icons and click it. You will find a list of default page styles, one of which is First Page. Use this to create your Title page style. Notice that the next page style is defined here so you get what you want as the following page. For a working example template see http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList and pick one of them. To see the styles, open Stylist and select All styles from the listbox at the bottom. Hope this helps. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
