Does anyone know the vba code to set or remove text from the footer of
the first page of a multi-page document. There are no sections, its a
dynamic document that may be 1-15 pages and I need to write a footer on
all but the first page.
Thanks!

You don't need VBA for that. Use a conditional field:

{ IF { PAGE} > "1""Your text here"""}

You don't even need that - just use a different first page footer (File >
Page Setup > Layout tab - or via the Header / Footer toolbar)

Change the setting so the document (section) is set to have different first
page headers and footers.
