Removing the page number from First page in Microsot Office

Sometimes, when you create a document with numbered pages, you don't want the first page to have a page number. For example, a title page or a cover page usually has no page number.

Note :- If your document already has page numbers, the page number on the cover page is automatically suppressed when you insert a cover page from the gallery of cover pages in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Inserting a cover page causes the second page to be numbered as page 2.
