[Guest]

I've tried everything with inserting section breaks in my document to try to
begin page numbering in the footer on page 4, but the numbering still starts
on page 1. Am I missing something? Please help

on page 1. Am I missing something? Please help

With the cursor in section 2's footer, go to the Header/Footer
toolbar, click the Format Page Number button, and change the Numbering
section from "Continue from previous section" to "Start at 1".

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm
and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm for a
full discussion.

Did you use Format Page Number to set the numbering to Start at 1 in Section
2?
