When there's just one page to be skipped, you can accomplish all of this by
setting page numbering to start from 0.

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
