start page numbering on the third page
I am making a booklet. I do not want page numbers on the first two pages. I
want to have 'page 1' start on the third page. I have tried everything I can think of and every suggestion I can find in the discussions. Thanks for any help, Mazile |

start page numbering on the third page
There are two ways to achieve this. If you want the page numbers to appear
correctly in a Table of Contents, have page 3 started by inserting a Next Page Section Break at the end of the text on Page 2. Then in what is now Section 2 of you document, insert a { Page } field where you want the page number to appear and then use the Format Page Numbers dialalog to set the numbering to Start at 1, rather than continue from previous Section. If you do not need a Table of Contents, then you can dispense with the Section Break and insert the following field construction where you want the page number to appear: { IF { PAGE } 2 { = { PAGE } - 2 } } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters and you use Alt+F9 to toggle off their display. -- Hope this helps.

start page numbering on the third page
I'm sorry ... I'm a complete dolt. I don't need the table of contents, so I'm trying the second option. When I copy and paste that "field construction" into the footer, all I get on Print Preview is "{ IF { PAGE } 2 { = { PAGE } - 2 } }" instead of the page number. What am I leaving out? You have to spell this out carefully for me!! Thanks, Mazile "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: There are two ways to achieve this.

You cannot copy and paste fields from a text message. You must enter it from
the keyboard using CTRL+F9 for each pair of brackets {}. Then press F9 to update and ALT+F9 to toggle the display to show the result, if updating didn't toggle it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org mazile wrote: I'm sorry ...

Hi mazile,
You can simplify the field construction to: {={ PAGE}-2 \# 0;;} To do this, simply: .. select the position where you want the page #s to appear .. press ctrl-F9 twice to create the pair of nested fields (ie '{ { } }') .. fill in/around the field braces as indicated .. Press F9 -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "mazile" wrote in message ... I'm sorry ... I'm a complete dolt. I don't need the table of contents, so I'm trying the second option.
