Troy,

It's possible and the best method would depend on what
pages you want to exclude.

You can use File>Page Setup>Layout to specify different
first page, different odd and even header/footers for each
document section.

You can use section breaks.  Each section can have
independent first page, odd, and even page header/footers.

You can use conditional IF fields.  For example, the
following field located in the footer will put footer text
on all pages numbered less than 5 and on page 9.

{ IF {PAGE} < 5 &#8220;Your footer text&#8221; { IF {PAGE} = 9 &#8220;Your
footer text&#8221; } }

Follow up question on this....

If I want to have a first page in a document with no
header/footer and I want the second page in the document
to be numbered "1 of xx" and then carry forward, how do I
do this?  

Right now, the second page (first page of my document w/
header/footer)says "2 of xx".

Thanks,
Doug
