Thanks for your help, but...
The document that i am working on already has many "sections" so I don't
need to put sections in to create "front matter". This is so complicated.
It seems that I only have the option of using different odd/even pages
which
still leaves me nowhere. I'm extremely frustrated.

All I want to do is start page one on what is actually page 3. Is there a
simple answer from anyone???

them to be part of the numbered pages. HELP!!
