re-starting page number
I have a document that I want to start printing the page number at the
beginning of the 2nd page, only thing is, I want to start with page number 1. So, always want the page number to display as 1 less than the actual page with no page number on the the first page. How to do this? |

So, always want the page number to display as 1 less than the actual page with no page number on the the first page. How to do this? Here are three ways to do that: 1. If the unnumbered first page is a cover page or something of that sort, insert a Next Page section break between that page and the start of the regular document. In the second section, open the header (or footer) area. On the Header/Footer toolbar, first click the Same As Previous button to turn it off. Then click the Format Page Number button on the toolbar and set the section to start at page 1. Finally, click the Insert Page Number button on the toolbar. (Note: this is _not_ the same as the Insert Page Number menu command, which is fubared.) 2. If you don't want to insert any section break, you can fake the numbering with a somewhat complex field construction. Use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of matched braces in the following expression: { IF {PAGE} 2 "" "{= {PAGE} - 1}" } Press F9 when it's done. This says "if the current page number is less than 2, display nothing; if it's 2 or more, display the number that is 1 less than the current page number". In other words, the "real" page number as shown on the status bar is still 2, but the field in the header displays 1. 3. (Least desirable) In File Page Setup Layout, check "Different first page". Leave the first page header/footer blank. In the second page's header (which also applies to the rest of the document), insert a page number. Click the Format Page Number button on the Header toolbar and set the document to start at page 0. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
