Numbering pages

Doug Robbins - Word MVP

Hi Kathryn,

Using Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of { }, construct the following field at
the location where you want the page numbers to appear

{ IF { PAGE } > 1 { PAGE } }

Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the field codes

With the above, the second page will be numbered 2

If you want the number on the second page to be 1, use

{ IF { PAGE } > 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } }

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Hi Kathryn

Use the 'different first page' page layout setting, so that you have
separate headers and footers for the cover page and for following pages.
Insert page number on the footer for the ordinary pages; leave it off the
first page.
