Transcript of Start Page Numbering Later in Your Document - Word - Office
Sometimes you might not want the page numbers shown in your header or footer to be the same as the actual
page numbers. For example, if the first page is a cover page and the second page is a table of contents, you
might want the third page to show “Page 1.”
To start page numbering later in your document, you first divide the document into sections and unlink them.
You then display the page numbering and choose the starting value.
Click in the document where you want to insert the divide.1.
Click Page Layout > Breaks > Next Page.2.
Double-click in the header or footer area where you want to display page numbers. This will open the Design
tab under Header & Footer Tools.
3.
Click Link to Previous to turn it off and unlink the header or footer from the previous section.4.
