:>If, however, you want the second page to have a page number of 1,
:>you will want to make the first page its own Section, and make your
:>page 2 the first page of Section 2.  In the Section command
:
:I think not.  Unless something changed when I wasn't looking :=),
:you can also specify the numeric value you wish to start counting
:from.  So start counting at zero, and you'll get what you
:want.

nope, 0 indicates that page numbering should be continuous from the
previous document, when using "next file".  If you try to start at
zero for a 'single' file Microsoft figures you are being stupid
and begins numbering at 1 anyway.
The first method is clumsy, but seems to be the best way to do it.
