A simple way to do it without the need for sections is to use the IF field
so that you enter into the Footer (presuming that is where you want the
page number) a field that says IF page number is greater than 2, True =
PAGE-2, False = nothing.

{ IF { NUMPAGES } = 2 { PAGE-2 } }

Pages 1 and 2 will display blank (false) but page 3 will display 3-2=1
and so on.

Aha! Did not know of that option. Found it, and it worked.

Many thanks.

Yeah, I tried breaking into a new section so that the page I want to
call No. 1 is the first page in a new section, and I got to the point
where it would show "1" as the page number. But the pages in the
previous section were numbered as well!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.


did you unlink the section from the previous section?
