I’m writing this primarily for my awesome wife who writes way more essays than I do. You can now update your contents page and it will refer to your shiny new page number format. Under ‘page numbering’, select Start At and enter “1” Navigate to the first page you want numbered (page 3 in my example).Įnsure ‘show number on first page’ is checked Now your document has 3 sections and when we insert page numbering it will only number that section. real document starts Break => Section Break (next page)ĭo the same thing for the contents page. In this example I am using the following structure: We do this by breaking the document into sections. In my example I want to start numbering on page 3, but this would work even if you wanted page numbering to start on page 57 (for example).
This works if you want your page numbers to start anywhere after page 1.
