Hello,
I am using MS Office 2003 on Windows XP Pro.

I want to number pages in a document as follows:

The document has two sections,
the first three pages, ie section 1, must NOT be numbered.
The remaining pages ie section 2, must be numbered from
1 to 42. ie page numbering start at page 1 in section 2 only.
Numbers to appear at bottom right in the footer.

I have been unable to set this up, I either get numbering from 1
all through the document or 1 to 3 in section 1, and then 1 to 42
in section 2.

How can I stop numbers appearing in section 1?
(Word can number them if it wants, I just don't want them printing)

Is there a method for this? or must I use two separate documents.

Many thanks

C. Drown

The two basic aspects to solve your problem are disabling "linked"
headers and footers ("Same as previous") for your second section, and
then defining the numbering. Both H/F and numbering are section
properties in Word, and, well, it has taken some time for anyone
fighting them at first. .-)
