different page numbering on same page

I have created a header with page numbering to begin at 1.
I want the footer to begin page numbering with a different number. How do I
get the footer number not to be the same # as the header.
Thanks

What pattern determines the number you do want in the footer? You'll have
to do something a little tricky, which requires more info about what you
want to help.

The header would only be a page number. The page number would need to print
consecutively starting with page 1.
The footer needs a project number and then that page number needs to start
with a different page number. Example 13-389.096-3 the -3 would be the page
number and needs to start with different than the header page number.
Thanks.

Assuming the project number is always the same, and the page number is
always 2+ the real page number, click View Header/Footer. Type the project
number into the footer directly. Press Control-F9 to enter field braces.
Inside the field braces, click the # icon to get the page number. Hit
alt-F9 to toggle field codes if necessary, so that you see: {{PAGE}} A page
field within a field.

Edit that double field so that you have {={PAGE}+2}
Press alt-F9 to return the field to showing results instead of field codes.

I think that will work, I'm not the field math expert.
