Dear all,

OS: Window XP Professional SP3, Office 2003 Professional SP3,

I have created a document - 313 pages all together, divided into 177
sections. The last thing I am about to do (trying to do - at present,
unsuccessfully) is to insert page numbering. The requirement is to start the
numbering at page 21 (for my purpose), the preceding 20 pages (which included
Title, Acknowledgement, TOC, List of Figures etc) - the numbers are not
supposed to show i.e. the first numbering number to show would then be page
number 21 containing the text proper, followed by 22 and so on.

I have read http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/PageNumbering.htm,
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...gExplained.htm, and
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/conc...ers/index.html but without
success in accomplishing what I need to do.

I would therefore appreciate it and be grateful for any advice to achieve
what I wanted to do i.e. start numbering at page 21 with page number 21 but
where the preceding 20 pages do not have the page number appearing.

Please do let me know if my description was unclear.

Thank you,
jes
