Numbering problem

H

Heni

I have a document where the first page is the title page, the second page is
the table of contents page, and my paper begins on the third page. I want the
numbering to begin (with 1) on the third page in my document, how do I
achieve this?

The best I have been able to do so far is to remove the title page and start
the document with the table of contents page, then select numbering starting
from 0. This way, the first page in my document (the table of contents page),
is not numbered, and the numbering (beginning with 1) starts on the second
page of my document.

I hope someone can help!

Thanks,
Heni

I am in almost same situation. Now i have discovered a new problem:
In the footer, it says "Page 1 of 84", my document in total has 84 pages,
but because I don't start numbering the pages from page 1, it should be "page
1 of 76".
How can i change it?

Thanks in advance

The "1 of 84" is in fact two fields: { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES } (hit
Alt-F9 to toggle the display of field codes on and off). It is correct,
in fact. But what you need is { SECTIONPAGES } instead of { NUMPAGES }.
Look up the field codes in Word's offline help to get an idea what they
do. You can insert such fields (for example) through Insert | Field ...

And if the 76 pages are not all in the same section, you could use a
calculated field--{ = { NUMPAGES } - 8 }--or a PAGEREF to the page number of
last page (you'd have to insert a bookmark on the last page and insert a
cross-reference to that bookmark).
