MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / June 2004page numbering
I'm building a document that starts with a title page, two pages of table of contents, and then my abstract. I want my page numbering (1,2,3...) to start on page 3 (the abstract). I've been about three hours at this now and can't get it to work. I try making section breaks, this works, but the first three pages are still numbered (1,2,3 / 1,2,3,...). In Wordperect its an option to do this, and is very easy. I've been all over the web and everyone wants to tell me how easy this is, but I haven't gotten anything to work. Any suggestions? Mike Hi, Mike. You are on the right track by putting a Section Break Next Page between the last TOC page and the abstract. What you need to do after that is: 1. Click somewhere in Section 2. 2. Click on View | Header and Footer, to open the Section 2 header. Turn off "same as previous" on the Header and Footer toolbar, and do the same for the footer. 3. Highlight the page number in the Section 2 header or footer, and click on Insert | Page Numbers | Format | Start at: 1. 4. Press the UpArrow key a couple of times to move to the Section 1 footer (or header) and delete the page number from Section 1. 5. Close the Header and Footer dialog. > I'm building a document that starts with a title page, two > pages of table of contents, and then my abstract.
