OK, Word Wizards come to my rescue. How can I set up a document so that the first page is zero? I want the real page 2 to be numbered 1. I can get the number on the first page to disappear, and I can also set it to any positive number, but when I set it to zero, it stays at one. What I want to do is have a title page as the first page and then the real document ( I know I can just use a separate document, but that's a pain and besides, this SHOULD work. ) =Steve=

Assuming that you want a "real" page number of 0 to show up on the first page: use the Section command (in the FORMAT menu) to create 2 sections in your document. You won't be able to use the Page Number features for the first section. Just hard code a "0" in headers and footers for this section. In section 2 you check the "Restart at 1" box using the Section command again. You can now use the Page Number methods for headers and footers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris 'Face' Janton | Internet: janton@rvax.ccit.arizona.edu CCIT | UUCP: ..{cmcl2,allegra,noao}!arizona!face Univ. of Arizona | Bitnet: janton@arizrvax Tucson, AZ 85721 | Phone: +1 602 621-6848

Make your title page a separate SECTION. Then in your second section,
the 'real document,' chose Section... under the Format menu. In the
Page Number area, just check Restart at 1. Voila.
Command-Enter give you the section break, by the way (I always forget
which is what:-().

At the place where you currently have a page break between the first and second (real) page, which is Shift-Return, replace it with a section break, which is Shift-Enter. Then you can set the page numbering of the two sections separately, namely you would suppress page numbering in the first section (your title page), and begin the second section with page one. -- Don

Set the first page apart from the remainder of the document with a **section** break (i.e. cmd-enter) rather than either a soft or hard page break (word does the former on a repaginate, the user creates the second with a shift-enter). Now position the cursor somewhere in the first page and choose the Section... selection from the FORMAT menu. Make sure page numbering is turned off. Position the cursor somewhere in the 2nd section, choose section formating again, and make sure that page numbering is turned ON, with the "Restart from 1" option. That's all there is to it. I tried it prior to responding, and it worked for me. The reason I said **relatively** easy is that if the text for your first page is apt to expand to greater than a single page, you will have to do repaginates and adjust everything so that only a single page is in section 1. Otherwise, you will end up with multiple "page 1's". --TomJ-- *Disclaimer: Motorola rarely listens to me, why should I speak for them?
