Page numbering, excluding page 1 in the total pages
I tried using the fieldcodes, but couldn't get them to work. Is there an
easy way to start page 1 on page 2 and the total pages will not include the title page? I have a total of 55 pages. Page 1 is a title page. What I need is page 1 of 54, etc. |

Assuming all of these pages are in the same section--
From the Header/Footer: 1. Choose: Insert, Field. 2. Change Categories drop-down to "Numbering". 3. Choose: SectionPages. 4. Click OK.

Page numbering, excluding page 1 in the total pages
If you have planned to convert to pdf when ready, probably the easiest is to make two pdfs (one of yr cover page) and one of yr 54 pages. Then merge on the pdf level. If you must do it in Word, try {={PAGE}-1} of {={NUMPAGES} -1} (Note: enter the curly brackets via Ctrl-F9, not via the keyboard).

Page numbering, excluding page 1 in the total pages
I inherited this document. Looking through it, I have section breaks
everywhere. How do I remove all of them at one time? I know this is another question, but it is affecting my page numbering. I did what you suggested, but page 2 still says page 2 and I want it to say page 1. "Pam" wrote: Assuming all of these pages are in the same section-- From the Header/Footer: 1.

Page numbering, excluding page 1 in the total pages
Firstly, be careful deleting section breaks unless the header / footers of
each section say "same as previous" when you view the header/footers (doubleclick on them to check), otherwise you may destroy some deliberate template settings. If you are sure that you can delete the section breaks, they have to be deleted individually. After you're left with one mainbody section, open the footer of that section (doubleclick) and amend the field for the page number indicators. The safest way is deleting what you find and inserting it from scratch: type "page" and press the # button on header toolbar. Then type "of" and insert the next field by pressing the "++" button. Now highlight the first field and press the "format page number" button (the one with the little hand on). Set your page number to start from 1. Then highlight the second page field and rightclick. Choose "toggle" and you'll find the field programming. Alter it like this: 1. Select "{ NUMPAGES }" and press Ctrl+F9 to add an extra set of field brackets around { NUMPAGES } (the field brackets cannot be typed; you must use Ctrl+F9). 2. Between the two start brackets,{ {, type an equal sign 3. Between the two end brackets, } }, type "- 1" (without the quotation marks). Now you have: { = { NUMPAGES } - 1 } Rightclick again and toggle field code. Close the footer and if necessary update your fields (F9). If it's all worked out the code should start counting pages on the second page as if it was the first and add one page to the total number of pages. -- Kathy Kensche CTS Creative Template Solutions Ltd.
