I have spent 6 hours trying to print page numbers on a multi-page doc. I do
not want page numbers on pages 1-5 (these pages have info in other footers)
and would like page 6 to be the first page number starting with number 1. Can
anyone help?

You need to insert a Next Page Break at the end of page 5. Once you have
done that you want to click on View | header and footer and on the toolbar
click on Same As Previous to unlink the footers. You can then start your page
numbering on the sixth page starting with one. I hope this has been helpful
to you.

Thanks Charles. I had already read this info and my document is such a mess
it seems that I can't make any sense of it. I can't find a single "live"
person who understands Word's page numbering enough to look at what I have on
my hands. I've deleted and started over at least twice and hope to not have
to do that again.

Thanks for your prompt response Carol. Unfortunately that didn't work. I
seem to have several headers/footer, and have done so many different things
to make this work that I don't even know where I am! When I did what you
stated, it inserted a blank next page...would that be correct?

I'd be happy to take a look at your document for you Madison. Can you attach
it or e-mail it to me?

I looked at Madison's document and she had one section break too many. As
soon as I removed it and inserted the page numbers into the footer, it worked
just fine.
