   2) I am writing my senior project report using Word 4.0.  I added the page
   numbers and did the first page special to remove the numbering from the
   first page.  But then the second page starts (the one after the cover page) 
   says #2.  I need to have that say #1 (Instructor DICTATES!!).  I tried to
   set the starting page number to zero, but that does not work, since I
   guess that how word carries the proper number to linked files.  I guess I
   can have the cover as a separate file, but that sounds awkward.  Is there
   any way to start the page numbering at 1 but from the second page?
  
Make the first page a seperate section from the rest of the document, then
begin page numbering at page 1 of section 2.  Hope this helps.

The other solution is to put the first page at the end and
to suppress its page number.
