Headers and Section Breaks
I have a document with a title page without a header. I have a section break
after that. I also don't want a header on page 2, which I want to be considered page 1--the first page of the actual document. Here's the problem. I want the header to begin on the third page but to be numbered as page 2 of x pages. I put a section break between pages 2 and 3, but I can't figure out how to start the numbering on page 3 as page 2--if you can follow that. If I do it, I also end up with a header on the previous pages despite the section breaks. I'm using Word 2003 with Windows XP, SP2. Thanks. |

Headers and Section Breaks
In the Headers & Footers Toolbar there's a button for "Format Page
Number." In there is a box where you can tell it what number to start with. (But if you're going to print your document double-sided, you should _never_ have an even page number on the front = right-hand page.)

Headers and Section Breaks
This isn't an issue of odd or even pages, so that's not a problem. I'd tried
setting that format page number box before without success, but for some reason it worked this time. I think what I changed this time was that I made sure in page setup that the header began with the new page and was for the current section. Anyway, thanks for your help. grammatim wrote: In the Headers & Footers Toolbar there's a button for "Format Page Number." In there is a box where you can tell it what number to start with.

Headers and Section Breaks
Indeed, when you set page numbering options in the Page Number Format dialog
box, it is done for the current section. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Andrea" wrote in message ... This isn't an issue of odd or even pages, so that's not a problem.
