page.

I want my numbers to start on page 5 of my document how do I do that
without
pushing down my text and typing my text.

You can use section breaks and have different footers on every page if
you
like and then you can change your numbering as you see fit.

Hello,

Word only allows us to decide whether or not we want page numbers on
the
first page. What if I don't want a page number on pages 1 and 2 of the
document, and want to display page number [set to value of say 40]
starting
on third page [i.e., the third page in the document has "40" displayed
on the
bottom; the fourth page - "41" ,etc]?

Thank you for your help
