Use the following field construction at the location where you want the page
numbers to appear
{ IF { PAGE } > 2 { = { PAGE } - 2 } }
You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display
Another way is to insert a Next Page Section Break on Page 2 so that Page 3
is the first page of a new Section and then insert the page number field
into the header/footer of that Section, which you need to have unlinked from
the header/footer in the first Section of the document and format the page
numbers so that they start at 1, rather than continue from the previous
section.
