offset ms word page numbers
Yes, unless one has used Insert | Page Numbers, which allows for skipping
the first page. -- Suzanne S.

"macropod" wrote in message ... Hi Suzanne, Presumably, then, one would have to set the document up with a 'different 1st page'. So, yes, that is a valid alternative way of achieving a similar result. Cheers "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Am I missing something? If the OP wants numbering to start at 1 on page 2, then starting numbering at 0 and omitting a { PAGE } field on the first (cover, title) page should do the trick. Obviously, this works only in this case; for cases where there are several pages before numbering starts at 1, this won't help. But this does avoid a section break. -- Suzanne S.

"macropod" wrote in message ... Hi Suzanne, Yes, that's true, but I believe the intention was to suppress the 0 and only have the 'attachment' pages numbered. Cheers "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... When there's just one page to be skipped, you can accomplish all of this by setting page numbering to start from 0. -- Suzanne S.

Franz (RMF) Wrote: Hi laxonator I could see one danger with this approach though: It does not really change the page numbers, but simply displays something else. IOW: If the document has a TOC, or any cross-reference to a page number, the reference will be "off": it will still point you to whatever a PAGE field would show on such a page, and not what you calculate with PAGE -1 etc. Hi Robert, while that's certainly true, it'll generally work fine for the case laxonator described. For cross-references, the same technique could be applied to any PAGEREF fields. That only leaves TOCs which, I admit, can't be corrected in this way. In fact the TOC page number problem is one I've pointed out in other threads/forums. Cheers -- macropod |
