page numbering

[Guest]

I need help with starting page numbering on the third page of a document.
I've been trying the section breaks and am having trouble (getting extra
pages suddenly inserted, breaks in the middle of the page). Easy step by
step instructions would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Kate

If you don't have a TOC to worry about, you could use a field construction.
{ IF { Page } > "2"{ =({ Page } -2) } }

Where all field code pairs { } are inserted with CTRL+F9 then toggle code
ALT+F9
