I have a document that is 10 pages. The first page will be my title/cover
page; I do not want page numbering to be included on this page since it's the
title page, so I go into File ==> Page Setup ==> Layout tab and check off the
"Different First Page" checkbox. Hope this part doesn't sound too confusing,
but I want the second page of the document (page following the title/cover
page) to start as "Page 1 of 9". I inserted a "Next Page" section break
between the title/cover page and the second page of the document. I clicked
on the "Same as previous" icon in the header/footer toolbar and I clicked on
the "Format Page Number" icon on the header/footer toolbar and set the
numbering to start at "1". When I click the "Insert Page Number" icon on the
header/footer toolbar while I'm on the second page of the document , a "1" is
inserted which is exactly what I want. However, when I click on the "Insert
Number of Pages" icon a "10" is inserted because it's including the
title/cover page in the count. This is how I want my footer to appear in my
document: Page 1 of 9, Page 2 of 9, Page 3 of 9, etc. and not Page 1 of 10,
Page 2 of 10, etc. Does anyone know how to set up the headers and footers
this way? Thanks.
