MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / July 2004Page X of Y problem
How do i start my numbering sequence on the the second page of my document using the Page X of Y rule? I have a cover page but dont want that included in the numbering. I have tried every help solution in word but its not helping. Using Word 2000. All together i have 10 pages in my document but want the numbering to start at 1 on the 2nd page, so it reads like Page 1 of 9, Page 2 of 9 and so forth... Cheers for any help. Hi htou. Here is what you need to do: 1. At the bottom of page 1, click on Insert | Breaks | Section break: Next page. Delete the page break that currently separates pages 1 and 2. Place your cursor in the document somewhere near the bottom of page 2. 2. Click on View | Header and Footer. On the Header and Footer toolbar, turn off "same as previous" in the header and in the footer. 3. In the page 2 footer, type: PAGE of SECTIONPAGES 4. Highlight the word PAGE and press Ctrl+F9. Highlight the resulting page number and click on Insert | Page Numbers | Format | Start at: 1. 5. Highlight the word SECTIONPAGES and press Ctrl+F9. 6. Close the page 2 footer.

Highlight the resulting page number and click on Insert | Page Numbers | Format | Start at: 1. > That didnt work. I tried it but all i get is what i typed > enclosed by a bracket. Are numbers suppose to appear when [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] >> >>. Somewhere on the first page do Insert/Break, under "Section break types" select "Next page". Now go to the header or footer location on the second page where you want the number to appear. Place the cursor there. Move the mouse pointer cursor along the Header and Footer bar to the symbol like an open book. It should identify itself as "Same as previous". Click it and it should grey out (deselected). Go to Insert/Page Numbers. Click Format. In the window that opens select "Start at" and insert 1 in that field. HTH Robin >That didnt work.
