The Insert | Page Numbers dialog is not the proper way to insert numbers in
complex documents. It's intended primarily for very simple documents with a
single section. For the type of numbering you want, see

This whole page numbering and section break thing is retarded. It's not
user
friendly at all. I JUST WANT TO DELETE A FEW PAGE NUMBERS AT THE FRONT OF
MY
BOOK! Just create a program that lets you click on the page number and
delete
it. AND LET THE PAGE NUMBERS START ON THE PAGE THAT I WANT WITHOUT ALL
THIS
SECTION BREAK CRAP! Also the page number format box NEEDS MORE OPTIONS!
Here's an idea... "Start page numbering from here down" AND DON'T MAKE IT
PUT
PAGE NUMBERS ON THE WHOLE DOCUMENT. I've been to numerous forums and ALL
KINDS OF PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THIS!
