Hi Suzanne,
Presumably, then, one would have to set the document up with a 'different
1st page'. So, yes, that is a valid alternative way of achieving a similar
result.
Cheers

Am I missing something? If the OP wants numbering to start at 1 on page 2,
then starting numbering at 0 and omitting a { PAGE } field on the first
(cover, title) page should do the trick. Obviously, this works only in
this
case; for cases where there are several pages before numbering starts at
1,
this won't help. But this does avoid a section break.

Hi Suzanne,
Yes, that's true, but I believe the intention was to suppress the 0 and
only
have the 'attachment' pages numbered.

When there's just one page to be skipped, you can accomplish all of
this
by
setting page numbering to start from 0.

Hi laxonator
I could see one danger with this approach though: It does not
really
change the page numbers, but simply displays something else. IOW:
If
the
document has a TOC, or any cross-reference to a page number, the
reference will be "off": it will still point you to whatever a
PAGE
field would show on such a page, and not what you calculate with
PAGE
-1
etc.
Hi Robert, while that's certainly true, it'll generally work fine
for
the case laxonator described. For cross-references, the same
technique
could be applied to any PAGEREF fields. That only leaves TOCs which,
I
admit, can't be corrected in this way. In fact the TOC page number
problem is one I've pointed out in other threads/forums.
Cheers
