Add page number

I am using 2.0 beta. How can I add page number like this?

I want to that the first page number on the document will not be and subsequent pages will begin from 1. I am curious that why add a page number is so difficult in OO. First add footnote, after add pagenumber. It would be better if we have option which is directly add page number.

Thanks.

Do not use the offset feature. Not only is it broken, but with it, yo only change the displayed page number, not the real page number. This will cause problems when using cross references and tables of content.

The only valid route is to have a different page style with no page number. After that, insert a Page break with change in page style and with a change in page number to 1.
