Line numbering isn't the same as page numbering - easiest way to access the
page number format for a section is from the Header and Footer toolbar
(displayed in Header and Footer view).

I am working on a document with front and back matter that should not have
page numbers. The middle section should have page numbers beginning with
page
1. I've broken it into sections, but the page number always starts with
page
4 instead of the desired page 1. Under line numbering in page setup, I
checked add line numbering, start at 1, and restart each section. It seems
like that would fix it, but it doesn't.

What am I doing wrong?
