random M icrosoft word question

[zoobernut]

It is a stupid question but important. Is there a way to start the page numbers in word on page 3 or 4? I am writing a paper and I have a table of contents and a title page and I want the page numbering to start on page 3 of the document. Please help me out.

yes there is, but how to do it, i dont remember right at the moment (i dont have word on this computer)

I don't know what version you have, but on mine it's:

- Insert tab
- Click on "Page Number" in "Header & Footer"
- Click on "Format Page Numbers..."
- Click on the "Start at:" radio button, then use the up/down controls or enter the number directly into the edit control to set the start page.

What you need to do is split it into two sections, which will allow you to use different headers/footers for each section.

Default I think is that they're linked, so you then need to go to section 2 and unlink it from the previous section.

Then you can tell it to put in page numbers for section 2, and have it start numbering at page 3 or 4 or whatever.

Thanks that worked like a chram! It is so difficult with word sometimes.
