I want to start Page '1' on the 3rd page. HOW???????? HELP?????
I have huge documents -over 100 pages with different footers throughout.
I 'finally' figured out how to change the footer (best way is to go from the back of the document forward, but cannot get the document to work when I need to start numbering the 3rd page of the document as Page 1. |

You'll need a section break between pages 2 and 3, then just go to Format
Page Number and set it to Start at 1. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm -- Suzanne S.

This does not work - I have tried it a zillion times! When you do a section
break - does it need to be "continuous"? If it is not continuous, it causes an additional page break. If I have different footer on both page 2 and 3, it gets even more complicated. Do I do my footers first? If I have no footer on page 2, and a different footer on both 2 and 3, then I need page 3 to actually start numbering as page #1. I have tried everything.........I am missing something! I think on page 2, I would put "different first page", right? But, I can't put the same thing on the 2nd page. I have created a dummy document and none of this is working. "Suzanne S.

With a "Next page" section break a the end of page 2, you would be
able to create different footers on pages 1, 2, and 3. Just unlink the footer in the second section and, for the first section, enable the "Different first page" option in File | Page Setup, Layout tab.

I want to start Page '1' on the 3rd page. HOW???????? HELP????
Once again tonight, I will try everything that has been suggested. But, I
have been trying these very things for several days now. There is something missing. Can I ask you to do the following and see what you get: Do a dummy 10 page document naming them Title Page, Table of Contents, Advisory, Properties, Real Estate, Security, telecommunications, call center, customer service and flight operations. 1) no footer or page # on page 1 (title page) 2) Left footer "master document" throughout rest of 9 pages 3) Beginning with table of contents, put each of the next 9 titles on individual page, i.e. Master Document Table of Contents Master Document Advisory Now it gets tricky........Begin number "advisory" as page # 1 First - would you suggest doing the page numbering first? Or, do you divide it up into sections first? I honest to goodness have tried everything so many times........

Tips--hit ¶ on the standard toolbar so that you can see the section breaks.
You might start with a fresh doc and copy and paste ONLY the text into this new doc. Don't copy the paragraph marks (¶) at the end of each paragraph, those can carry section formatting that you don't want. I'm not going to create a dummy document, because I have made this work previously, and it does work. Here's one way I might do it: Type Title page--leave header/footer blank Section break (next page) Type Page 2/TOC Unlink header/footer from previous--enter footer text but no page number Section break (next page) Type Page 3 and forward Unlink header/footer from previous--enter footer text and page number. Click on Format Page Number on header/footer toolbar to set page numbering at 1. For the other sections (Advisory, Properties, etc), you should be fine starting each one with a regular Page Break. A section break is only needed if you want to change the footer text (and sometimes not even then).

Stefan - I cannot thank you enough! I still want to send Bill Gates an email
because page numbering combined with footers and sections should NOT be this difficult!!!!! The 6 sentences you wrote in another post "save my job!" You recommended going back to the first of the very long document I was working on, inserting page, making sure continuous was checked, etc. Honest to goodness, I have worked on this mess for weeks and had about 75 pages of instructions from various sources. Your 6 sentences (along with a couple of other suggestions) resolved all of my problems. If anybody needs to know how to do continuous numbering with long documents and many sections and many footers, let me know. I can make your life much easier with one-page instructions instead of 75!!!!! Thanks Stefan!!!!!! I love you!!!!!

If a section break causes an extra page break, then it may be because you
already have a manual page break; if so, you need to delete that. In order to set up "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" headers and footers in a dummy document, you must (at least temporarily) have at least three pages in each section you're working in, assuming you've unlinked the sections. Be aware that unlinking applies only to like headers/footers. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and the other articles to which Stefan referred you. -- Suzanne S.
