I have a document with a page field in the footer for all pages, including
the first. I am unable to get Word to start at page one on the first page.
It will begin as page 2 even if I manually set the first pate as one in the
format page number dialog box. If I set it to zero, it works, but I don't
want zero, of course, I want it to start at one. I do have section breaks so
that all chapters start on an odd page, which might be causing the problem.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Sounds like "Section start" for the very first section is set to "Even
page"; you should change it to "Odd page" (Page Setup dialog box).
