Hi,

 I'm not new to word but rarely have the opportunity to get into
formatting issues.

 I've looked at a number of articles about this. Basically it's a
simple problem, I'm sure.

 I'm trying to create a document with a title page and the rest of
the document is simply pages (it's a novel). I want to create a header
on all the pages but the title page and I need to have the page
numbers start at 1 on the first non-title page (the second page in the
document).

 I've been able to create a second  continuous section ( for the non-
title pages and create a header that does not appear on the title
page. All well and good.

 When I try to insert a page number in the second section (all the
non-title pages), no matter what I try, the page number on the first
non-title page is greater than 1. I tried formatting the page number
by experimenting with various start numbers from one to 2.

  The best I can do is to get the page number on the second page to
start with 2; it seems to be continuing from the first section (page).
I've turned off link to previous on the second section header.

  Doing web searches has not gotten me any answers. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
