Steve,

There are several ways to do this, but to keep it simple (to explain and
perform) do the following:

Decide where you want your page number to appear (i.e., header, footer,
etc.) and position the cursor.
Type: IF PAGE > 4 PAGE
Select the first instance of page and press CTRL+F9
Select the second instance of page and press CTRL+F9
Select the entire expression the and press CTRL+F9
Right click the express and select update field.

You have created a nest condtional if field that evaluates IF the page
number is greater than 4 then display the page number.

C'mon Greg,

You can do better than that! Your solution will start numbering on Page 5
OK, but starting at 5 instead of 1.

Cheers

Not to mention that even a correct calculated page number will be useless
for TOC purposes. <g>
