Page Numbering Starts at Page 2 (Word 2003)
Word thinks the first page of my four page document is Page 2. With my cursor
on the first page, the status bar shows: Page 2 Sec 1 1/4 There's only one section in this document. I've looked for hidden codes and find none. I'm pretty good with Word and numbering, but this is a new one for me. Help is greatly appreciated! |

Help is greatly appreciated! each section has a bunch of properties in Word (like: page size and orientation, margin, header and footer contents, etc.). Where the numbering of a section starts is also a section property. In Word 2003, I think you had best go to Insert | Page Number | Format dialog. Set "start at: 1" (or: from previous section), hit OK and CLOSE afterwards.

Right you are! And to think all these years I thought Word wouldn't allow you
to start at any old page number without a section break. Something new EVERY day! Many thanks! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Go to Insert | Page Numbers and click on Format...
