In Word, how can I start numbering pages beginning with page two?
I'm using MS Word 2002.
I need the second page of my document to be labeled, "1". I checked the Page Setup/Layout tab/Different first page checkbox and then inserted page numbers to no avail. I have also tried adding a Section Break on the first page. Then breaking the connection between the footer on the first and second pages. Then inserting page numbers with the "Start at:" field set to 0, but Word keeps asking for a number between 1 and 32766. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

If all you want is page numbers displayed on the pages (not a Table of
Contents) you can insert a calculation field in the header (having selected the different first page option so the header starts on page two). { = {Page} - 1 } Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm.

Unless you're using roman numerals, you should be able to start at 0. This,
combined with the "Different first page" setting, obviates the need for a section break. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne. I should have mentioned in my post that I am trying to use
lower case roman numerals (i,ii,iii,...) for the page numbers. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Unless you're using roman numerals, you should be able to start at 0.

Thanks Charles. This was a great solution, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
work with lower case roman numerals (i,ii,iii,...) Looks like I'll just have to have two separate documents...my cover page without page numbering and then a separate document with the pages numbered. Thanks for your help.
