Header and Footer HELP!
i know how to make a footer but i have always had the problem of it not being
able to start on the page i want it too. I have a Title Page and Table of contents, both of which i do not want the footer on nor do i want them counted in the page numbers and i don't know how to do that. I want the footer to START on the 3rd page, and on that 3rd page i want it to start as Page 1 of 5 and then Page 2 of 5 etc. I can only get the footer to not appear on the first page so i'm just wondering how i can also not get it to appear on my second page aswell, the table of contents. Thanks!!! |

Header and Footer HELP!
To exclude any more than one page from the numbering, you have to insert a
section break before the first numbered page, and turn off the Same As Previous setting in the footer (and maybe the header) of the second section. Then you can have a different -- possibly empty -- footer in the first section, and restart numbering in the second section.

Header and Footer HELP!
I managed to get the page number to start counting at the 3rd page as #1
which is what i wanted but even with the section breaks, a footer still appears on the first 2 pages. Why? and in the page numbering it is still counting the first to pages so instead of 1 of 2 it is displaying 1 of 4.

Header and Footer HELP!
Did you miss Jay's instruction to unlink the sections and leave the first
footer empty? And it appears you may have enabled either "Different first page" or "Different odd and even," in which case you have to insert the page number into each footer in Section 2. You didn't mention Page X of Y in your initial post, but it will have to be calculated, i.e. "Page { PAGE } of { = { NUMPAGES } - 2 }." -- Suzanne S.
