Re: page numbering "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 12/25/2008 7:49:21 AM Insert a section break at the end of page 3 and break the link between the header footer of the two sections. Worrking in the sectuion 2 footer, put a right aligned tab at the place where you want the right side of the page number to appear and/or set a negative right indent in the paragraph style paragraph format of the paragraph you use to format the footer. Insert a page field tabbed to your right tab. You can set the page start number from the header/footer toolbar (Word 2003) or from the Page Number button on the HeaderFooter Tools tab (Word 2007) -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> excelguy wrote: [Quoted Text] > I want to number my pages starting from page 4 in my document but I > want to begin with number one.
