I know how to setup page numbering, but I don't know how to skip the first page. My first page is the cover sheet, and i want the page numbering to start after that page. Thanks!
 
...right click page two, select 'numbering and section options', then select 'start page numbering at...' and leave the number to '1'...

...your current cover page may or may not still have its master page box containing the number '1'. On this page you may need to right click it and select 'overide all master page items', you will then be able to select the box and delete it as required...

Thanks. I was able to start the numbering on page two, but i couldn't overide the master page items. I tried right clicking on the page, and i never saw an overide option appear in the pop up menu.
 
...ok, sorry i should have mentioned that my version is CS 2, what version do you have?...

...try the flyout menu instead in the pages palette, it is probably ther...

Or after starting page 2 as "Page 1", you can reset the master for page 1 by dragging "None" onto it from the pages palette.
