How do I insert page numbers from the middle of the document?

[Sujith]

Hi Microsoft GURUS!,

I have a word document of 106 pages. I need to insert page numbers. But the
page numbering must start from the eight page only. How to do this? Please
help me out. This is very urgent.

In the footer put a conditional field

{IF{Page} > 7 "{Page}"}
or if you want to start the numbering from 1 on Page 8 then
{IF{Page} > 7 "{=({Page} - 7)}"}

The field boundaries {}are set with CTRL+F9

The alternative is to slot a section break into the document after page 7
and set the numbering options for the following section.
