Hi

Numbering pages can be a real pain in the a** with Word sometimes. When I
have a title page and table of contents, I just cut and paste them to the end
of the document, insert a break between the last page of my document and the
title page and then remove the footer from the title page and table of
contents. Many law firms do this also. When they print the document, they
just manually put the title page and table of contents on top. If you're
just going to print it (like for a report or something), this might be a good
solution as opposed to trying to deal with page/section breaks, etc. as that
can get frustrating.

Hope this is helpful!

third page. I made sure to create a new section on the third page because
that is where I want the page numbers to begin. I asked for page numbers to
start at 1 and I made sure that I unchecked the "same as previous" option in
the footer. However, after all this, the new section starts with page 2, not
page 1 as I asked. Can anyone advise as to what I am doing wrong?
