Thanks for answering my first question. the problem is that when I followed
the instructions I can't get it to work. I have a document that I want the
first two pages not to number. I view header footer, then click page setup
button, I check the different first page box, you see that you now have a
separate first page header and footer. Then I check this section only. then
the instructions say I can leave them empty and there will be no page number
on that page. I do this for the second page as well. Then on the third page,
I go to page setup and do the same thing except I choose from this point
forward. I then go to format page number and check start with 1. I then hit
insert page number. the third page starts with 1 and continues through the
document with the correct page numbers. the problem is that when I have done
all this, it will also put page number in my first two pages. How do I stop
the first two pages from automatically number. Help someone. I know I must
be doing something really stupid for it not to be working like it says it
should.
