Footer Issues
I have 5 pages and I don't want a page number footer on page one. I want page
2 to have "Page 1 of 4" and page three to have "Page 2 of 4" and so on... How can this be done? Thanks, Karen |

Footer Issues
I just had this same issue answered in post titled "Want Automatic Numbering
to start on second page." I'll include what the expert (Jay Freedman) said below, but here are my simple instructions for what I did in document that worked: Insert Section Break after cover page. Instead of using Autotext option for automatic numbering, insert fields manually: (Page ___ of ___) After typing "Page" in footer: Tool menu: Insert Field The first field is Page After inserting, highlight page # and select Format Page Number from toolbar and change to page 1 since you don't want the cover page to be counted. After space and of and another space: Tool menu: Insert Field The second field is SectionPages Good luck! Malia Answer from Jay Freedman: The "Page X of Y" autotext uses two fields. The X is a {PAGE} field that shows the current page number, taking restarts into account. The Y is a {NUMPAGES} field, which always shows the total number of pages in the entire document. In your case, with a section break to restart numbering at 1 on the second page, you want to replace the {NUMPAGES} field with a {SECTIONPAGES} field to show only the number of pages in section 2. There's another way to get the same result, without a section break but starting the page numbering at 0 on the first page and using an empty "different first page" footer. In the primary footer (showing on all the pages except the first), replace the {NUMPAGES} field with the nested formula field { = {NUMPAGES} - 1 } Select the existing {NUMPAGES} field and then use Ctrl+F9 to insert the outer set of field markers, and type in the rest of the field code.
