Default Ignore Title Page in page numbers

Hi,

I usually separate my title page from the rest of the document with a
section break. Then, in the first page you want numbered, select "format
page number" in the footer, choose "start at", then "1". This should number
the page you're on at "1".

HTH,
Tom

Default Ignore Title Page in page numbers

For this specific case *only,* check the box for "Different first page" on
the Layout tab of Page Setup. Leave the First Page Header/Footer empty,
insert your page number in the Header/Footer, and, in the Format Page Number
dialog, set the numbering to start at 0.
