Default Page Numbering Starts at Page 2 (Word 2003)

Hello Allison

Word thinks the first page of my four page document is Page 2. With my cursor
on the first page, the status bar shows:

Page 2 Sec 1 1/4

There's only one section in this document. I've looked for hidden codes and
find none. I'm pretty good with Word and numbering, but this is a new one for
me. Help is greatly appreciated!


each section has a bunch of properties in Word (like: page size and
orientation, margin, header and footer contents, etc.). Where the
numbering of a section starts is also a section property.

In Word 2003, I think you had best go to Insert | Page Number | Format
dialog. Set "start at: 1" (or: from previous section), hit OK and CLOSE
afterwards.
