Re: Page numbering

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

1. Between the first and second pages, insert a next page section break (Insert | Break | Section Break | Next Page).

2. View | Header and Footer. This will open the header pane for editing.

3. Click on the "Switch Between Header and Footer" button on the Header and Footer toolbar to access the footer.

4. If the footer shows Section 1, use the "Show Next" button to get to Section 2.

5. Click on the "Link to Previous" button to unlink Section 2 from Section 1.

6. Click on "Format Page Number" and choose Start at 1.

7. On the Insert AutoText menu, choose "Page X of Y." Position this where you want it using paragraph alignment or the built-in tab stops.

8. Press Alt+F9 to display field codes. The Y field will be represented by NUMPAGES. Edit this (by typing directly in the field) to read SECTIONPAGES.

9. Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update the field.

Is this possible? Example, on a 3 page contract where the first sheet is the
cover sheet and the 2nd and 3rd sheets are the contract, the footer will be
blank on the cover sheet but will show page 1 of 3 on the first page of the
contract even though the contract itself is only 2 pages total. How can the
contract show 1 of 2 (not to include the cover sheet?)
