MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / September 2003Starting page number 1 on 8th page of document
How do I leave no page numbers on pages 1-7 of a document, then start the number "1" on page 8? Thanks for any help you can provide!!! Insert your page numbering either in a header or footer making sure you insert a section break at the bottom of page 7. Insert | Section Break | Next Page Use the format page number option and select the Start at option to select 1. jesse >-----Original Message----- >How do I leave no page numbers on pages 1-7 of a document, >then start the number "1" on page 8? > >Thanks for any help you can provide!!! >. That pretty much worked, but it still put page numbers 1-7 on pages 1-7. Is there any way to get rid of those?? Thanks! >-----Original Message----- >Insert your page numbering either in a header or footer [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> >. In order to have a different header/footer in Section 2 from in Section 1, you must unlink the sections. You do this by clicking the Same as Previous button on the Header and Footer toolbar (to turn it off). If you do that before inserting numbers in Section 2, you won't get any numbers in Section 1 to begin with. To fix the probem now, unlink the sections and then delete the number from Section 1. -- Suzanne S.

My problem is at the end of a long document, the total number of pages is not incremented by the 6 blank page numbers at the beginning. My final page is page 74 of 80. How can I make it page 74 of 74? Thanks. >-----Original Message----- >In order to have a different header/footer in Section 2 from in Section 1, [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > >. The NumPages field always reflects the total number of pages in the document; there's no way around this. If your document has only two sections (Section 1 with no page numbers and Section 2 with pages 1 to 74), then you can use the SectionPages field instead of NumPages. If you have more than two sections, then you'll need to use a calculated field, as follows: Page { PAGE } of { = { NUMPAGES } - 6 } Each pair of braces must be inserted using Ctrl+F9; they can't be typed from the keyboard (though you can use the Insert Page Number and Insert Number of Pages buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert the { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } fields). -- Suzanne S.
