How to add page numbers in Word2007, but leave the fisrst 3 pages.
Mariss 12/17/2008 11:15:11 AM
I have a Word2007 document containing 15 pages. I need to insert page
numbers, but to leave the first 3 pages unnumbered. How to do that? I can
make the first page different, but how to do it in the 2 following pages?
Any suggestions?

You can either insert a section break after page 3, unlink the section
headers, and insert a page field in section 2 or you can use a conditional
field:
{ If { Page } > "3"{ Page } }

Hadn't heard of that one! Thanks Greg. I usually use section breaks - but
I like the elegance of the conditional field. So elegant, it's bloody
obvious, but only since you have told me!

But note that calculated page numbers won't be reflected in (say) a table of
contents.

This example, however, is not a calculated page number; the true page number
(PAGE field) is being printed on the pages where it's being printed; it's
just being omitted from some.
