Numbering problem
I have a document where the first page is the title page, the second page is
the table of contents page, and my paper begins on the third page. I want the numbering to begin (with 1) on the third page in my document, how do I achieve this? The best I have been able to do so far is to remove the title page and start the document with the table of contents page, then select numbering starting from 0. This way, the first page in my document (the table of contents page), is not numbered, and the numbering (beginning with 1) starts on the second page of my document. I hope someone can help! Thanks, Heni |

Numbering problem
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm. Note that
while it is not necessary to unlink sections to restart numbering and change the number format, it is necessary if you want to omit numbering from a given header/footer. -- Suzanne S.

Numbering problem
I am in almost same situation. Now i have discovered a new problem:
In the footer, it says "Page 1 of 84", my document in total has 84 pages, but because I don't start numbering the pages from page 1, it should be "page 1 of 76". How can i change it?

Numbering problem
And if the 76 pages are not all in the same section, you could use a
calculated field--{ = { NUMPAGES } - 8 }--or a PAGEREF to the page number of last page (you'd have to insert a bookmark on the last page and insert a cross-reference to that bookmark). -- Suzanne S.
