True, but a more general solution is to use the First page style from 
the stylist (F11 and click on the Page style icon).  Check to make sure 
that First Page style uses the settings you want (right-click and 
select "Modifiy").  Under the "Organizer" tab, make sure the "Next 
page" listed is the style you want to use on all other pages (probably 
"Default" if you've not used styles before).  First page style, by 
default, does not have either headers or footers.  If you want footers, 
check that box.

When you're sure that the First Page Style is the way you want it, move 
it to the first page and double-click the "First page" style and it 
will automatically apply to that page.  Following pages will be in the 
default style.

I would suggest getting some documentation on styles as they will make 
your work much easier -- you can find a lot on the openoffice.org 
website.
