Page number start at 1 on 2nd page

[Bod]

Hi! I want a doc to be able to print pages [1,2 and 4 on white paper] and [3
+ 5 to end on yellow paper].
This is to be used my various users, so I have written 2 macros.

The doc page setup is set to bypass tray - this means the user can hit print
and then either choose a standard tray or put yellow paper in bypass and away
it will go. (Incidentally, I am also dubious about this page setup: paper:
bypass tray:- whether that will apply to all machines and all setups;
including many users having their Word docs open within IE (Windows Explorer
option).)

I need a page of instruction and the buttons to run the macros - which I
have made the first page so that it immediately appears to users.

If I make 2 sections, when the macro says print pages 1,2 and 4, as there is
a page 1 in each section, it prints the instruction page as well, which is
not needed.

Can you tell me how to either make the macro so it prints only the pages
needed, or have 1 section, but number the pages so that page 2 says "1", etc.
If you know about the printing to bypass tray also - and from within IE,
that would help too. Thanks.

The commands that direct print output to different trays vary with the
printer driver. I would think it quite a task to provide a universal
solution where the printer is not known. You may find fellow MVP Jonathan

Printing sections and parts of sections is simple enough if you add the
section number to the pages to be printed eg p2s2 will print page 2 of
section 2 and p1s1-p4s1 will print pages 1 to 4 of Section 1
