It is possible:
Insert a section break to split the part you don't want numbered from the part you do. This is under Insert->Break on the menus.
Now edit the footer in the section you want numbered. Insert the page number etc. Click on the Format Page Number button on the Headers and Footers toolbar. You can now continue the page numbering from the previous section or restart at any number you want.
I assume you don't want page numbers on the first 6 pages. There is a button on the Header and Footers toolbar that lets you make the footer in the new section different to the footer in the prior section. Use this then remove the page number from a footer in the first section.

You need to chop your document into sections (using insrt break -> section -> next page). You're page numbering can then be set "just for this section".
Create a smaller document and have a play with it - or if you're ok to email a copy, I'm sure somebody will volunteer
to add the break in and set up the numbering.

I would add a section break (continuous) after the pages that you don't want in the numbering (as has been suggested before).
I would then display the headers and footers. In the tool bar which will then display there is a a little icon which is "same as previous". You use this to link headers and / or footers to the one in the previous section which means that you only make the change to one section and it ripples through the document. This of course is what you DON'T want - so when in the section which does not contain the pages you don't want to be numbered click this button to break the link between the sections.
Thus you can have what ever you want in the header and footer for the initial pages and a different header and footer in the main section of the document.
Note that you don't have to de-link the header if this always contains the same information.
Hope this helps
