Start pg numbering on 3rd page, with no # on 1 or 2?
Office Word 2007
I need to start my page numbering on the third page of my document, calling it pg no. 1. But I don't want the first or second pages to show any page number. I know how to do this if I begin my numbering on the second page, but can't figure out how to do this starting the numbering on the third page. The best I can come up with shows no number on the first page, a number 1 on the second page, and then another number 1 on the third page. Help? Thanks.

It will get you tearing your hair out trying to do such a simple task, but it can be done! |

Yeah, I tried breaking into a new section so that the page I want to call
No. 1 is the first page in a new section, and I got to the point where it would show "1" as the page number. But the pages in the previous section were numbered as well! Not sure what I'm doing wrong. "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Ken" wrote in message ... Office Word 2007 I need to start my page numbering on the third page of my document, calling it pg no. 1.

Aha! Did not know of that option. Found it, and it worked.

A simple way to do it without the need for sections is to use the IF field
so that you enter into the Footer (presuming that is where you want the page number) a field that says IF page number is greater than 2, True = PAGE-2, False = nothing. { IF { NUMPAGES } = 2 { PAGE-2 } } Pages 1 and 2 will display blank (false) but page 3 will display 3-2=1 and so on.

I think what was meant was
