Method 1: - At the beginning of page 4, insert a section break (Insert Break New Page). If there was a hard page break separating pages 3 and 4, remove it to prevent getting an extra page. - With the cursor on page 4, open the Header pane (View Header and Footer). On the Header/Footer toolbar, click the button to switch to the Footer pane. - On the Header/Footer toolbar, click the button to turn off "Same As Previous". - On the Header/Footer toolbar, click the Format Page Number button. In the bottom part of the dialog that appears, type the number 1 in the Start At box. Click OK. - On the Header/Footer toolbar, click the Insert Page Number button. Method 2: Use this method if you don't need or want a section break... - Open the footer pane on any page. - Insert this field, using Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field markers (shown here as braces { } although you can't type field markers with those keys): { if {page} 3 { = {page} - 3 } "" } This says that if the "real" page number as shown on the status bar is greater than 3, the field result is the real page number minus 3 -- that is, page 4 will show the result "1", page 5 will show the result "2", and so on. If the real page number is 3 or less, the field shows nothing (the empty quotes). After entering the field, press F9 to collapse and update it. -- 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. |
