I use publisher to create parish newsletter of 12-16 pages each month. We use
8.5 X 14 inch paper landscape mode folded in half to make a booklet. My
question is this: How do I get page numbering to begin with the number 1 but
starting on the second page of the booklet? The first page of the booklet is
the cover and I don't know too many people who number the cover. Word
processors can do this...can Publisher?
Thanks for any help?

You have several issues at work here.
1: Start a new section on page 2, On the page sorter
(page sorter: One or more paged-shaped controls, located
in the lower left corner of the Publisher window, that
represent each page of the publication and can be used to
go to, rearrange, or work with publication pages.), right-
click the page number where you would like to begin a new
section, and then click Insert Section on the shortcut
menu.
In the Section dialog box, select Begin a section with
this page.
Do one of the following:
To continue the page numbering from the previous section,
select Continue from previous section.
To restart the page numbering, select Start at, and then
enter a page number.
The new section for your publication will be shown by a
break in the sequence of pages in the page sorter.
2: Set up and print a letter-sized booklet
To create a folded booklet with 8.5-by-11-inch pages.
Your printer must support printing on 11-by-17-inch
paper, also called tabloid paper, for the procedure to
work.
Open the publication you want to print as a folded
booklet.
On the File menu, click Page Setup.
Click the Layout tab.
Under Publication type, click Booklet.
Under Page size, type 8.5 in the Width box and 11 in the
Height box.
Click the Printer & Paper tab.
Under Printer, select a printer that can print on 11-17
or tabloid paper.
Under Paper, select the 11-by-17- inch or tabloid paper
option, and then click OK.
When you are prompted to automatically insert pages,
click Yes. Publisher will insert pages so that the total
number is a multiple of 4.
On the File menu, click Print.
In the Print dialog box, click Change page order, click
Print as book, and then click OK.
Select any other options you want, and then click OK to
print the publication.
Microsoft Publisher prints the first and last pages on
one sheet of paper, the second and next-to-last on
another sheet, and so on, as shown in the following
picture. When you photocopy the pages back to back and
then staple or bind them together, they will be in the
right order.
