Page Numbering

[Jose]

Hello to all,

---HELP----PLEASE

Could some please impart some light into this very frustrating issue.

Say I have 10 pages I just typed in Word. When I go to number the
using the Header and Footer toolbar my intent was to number ONLY page
3-10. In other words, pages 1 and 2 are just intro pages that I don'
want numbered but have Word start numbering from page 3 but show it a
page 1. Make sense

At the location where you want the page numbers to appear, insert the
following field construction

{ IF { PAGE } > 2 { = { PAGE } - 2 } }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and use
ALT+ F9 to toggle off the field codes.

A less elegant way is to insert a section break after page 2, and then set
up that section so that it starts numbering at page 1. T
