Page Numbers Starting on Second Page as Page Number 1

I'm writing essays for my AP World History class and I need a cover page that doesn't have a page number as the first page of the document. Then my essays will go in order from the second page, but the page numbers need to start as 1. I have already clicked "First page is different" in the inspector under Section, but it starts the page numbering at 2 instead of the needed one. Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks

Have you tried setting the starting page number to zero? Then the next page should be #1.
Or you can add a section break & start the numbering of the new section at 1.

Can page numbering start on a left-hand page?

A question arose here yesterday regarding automatic page numbering.
Is it possible to do it so that odd numbers come on left-hand pages and even numbers on the right?
I know this is highly unusual, but can it be done?

Yes,
For Example:
Start a New Document.
Go to pages panel and turn off the check mark for "Allow Document Pages to Shuffle"
Then go to the first page in the pages panel and go to Numbering and Section Options
Set the "Start Page Numbering" to "2".
And now Page 2 is a recto, and Page 3 is a verso, Page 4 is recto and so on.
It doesn't make it easy for shuffling pages around though. But it can be done. Perhaps others have more elegant way?
I can think of a way to do it using the Book Panel - that is if this doesn't suffice?

Page numbering starting on second page...

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong here. All I want to do is start my numbering from 1 on the second page, leaving the first page (title page) without a page number. I know this can be done because it is formatted this way on the screenplay template, but after searching the manual, online help, and this forum and I cannot find anything that will make this work. I've also tried "view invisible" to see how the template is formatted but I cannot get it to work on a new document. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Jynx,
Try this:
1. Start with a blank doc and turn on Show Invisibles.
2. Click on Insert > Section Break
3. In the Inspector, click on the Layout Inspector (2nd icon from left)
4. Put your cursor in the second section of the doc
5. In the Layout Inspector, click on Section tab
6. Make sure First Page is Different is checked, and Use Previous Headers & Footers is UNchecked
7. Use the option to begin your numbering where you want it to start
This work for you?

Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

I just found the answer myself. I don't know how to delete my question, so I'll just write the reply to the answer - just in case somebody needs to know: Insert a section brake after the second page and then choose "Start on 3".

"Ghost" page numbers on every second page - how to remove?

Hi,
I'm setting a short book with Pages and after importing from Word, I'm seeing duplicate, partially hidden additional page numbers on every second page. I'd like to remove them entirely, keeping Pages' page numbering. Removing and inserting page numbers doesn't help and the second set of numbers can't be selected in any way (clicking, dragging don't work). One solution would be to re-import from word, deselecting page numbers beforehand, but I'd rather like avoid this step as I made many changes in Pages.
Here's a screenshot showing the duplicate page numbers: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3304376/pages_bug.png
Does anybody have an idea how to remove them?

Hello,
Sometimes in the process of importing from Word, page numbers are improperly converted to Master Objects or Background Objects. Go to Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. Then, with the cursor in the Margin of the document, press the Command Key (Cursor changes to an Arrow) and drag the cursor diagonally across the page number to select it. Then press the Delete key and the number should be gone. You need to check carefully to make sure that you have eliminated all the instances. There may be one per Section.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

Click at bottom of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section break
Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
Click into the header or footer of the second page:
Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

Use page numbers starting with 1 on the second page

I have a document in Pages 09 that I need to have a title page. This page should have no page number so the numbers start on page 2. I have managed to get rid of the page number on the first page, but Pages keeps starting the numbers from 2 on the second page. I tried to set "Start at:" to 1, but that did have no effect. Is there any solution?

From Vallauris I can't guess what but clearly, you forgot something !

Using iWork 09 Pages I need the first six pages of a document to not be counted as page numbers. I need the seventh page to be numbered as page one. I already know to have a section break between pages 6 and 7 and to use inspector "start at." Not working

In the book I'm formatting, the first page is the title page, the second page is the copyright page, the third through fifth pages are the table of contents, the sixth page is blank, then the text (which I want to number as page one) is the introduction. I have section breaks between the title page, the copyright page, the table of contents, and the introduction. Using the Inspector, Layout, Section, and selecting "Start at" 7 doesn't do anything!

Is is a bit tricky, but it works. On your 6th page (the blank one) go to Insert > Section Break. This will give you a 7th page. Then go to Inspector (blue circle with a white letter i in it) and go to Layout Inspector (2nd tab). Once in thee, go to Section. Check "Start at" and enter the number 1. Then ensure all other toons I there are unchecked.
Then go to Insert, and select Auto Page Numbers. You will find that your 7th page is numbered 1 as you want, but the first six pages will be numbered 1 to 6, which you don't want. But you can then delete the page numbering in that 1st section, leaving your 2nd section, beginning at page 7, numbered as page 1. You'll need to play around a bit as I did, and I would suggest using a test document to play with so you can undo any unwanted actions etc, but with tweaking around, it's doable. This took me ages to sort, so if it works for you, please give me the points :-)

Need page numbers starting with chapter numbers.

Hello every one,
I'm in the work of making user manual with different autonumber paragraph headings.(eg.1.xyz,2.abc,......).I have applied a running head header and has to apply a footer with page number in the format paragraph heading autonumber. pagenumber.ie - 1.1,1.2,........and when second paragraph heading starts it should be 2.1,2.2,.......i tried inserting variables like <chapnum>,<section num> but its not giving the desired o/p.How i can resolve this problem?
Plz help me...

crazdobe,
If your goal is to restart the page numbering inside a single file, you are out of luck.
Restarting page numbering with the beginning of a new section seems only useful if the heading of that section start at a new page; therefore you could just split the document for every new section and then control page numbering as you like.
If I have misunderstood your requirement, please share more detail.

Pages page numbering starting from not first page

Hi. I want Pages to page number starting from not first page but actually page number 12 in my doc should be numbered as page 1 while prior pages numbered i to xi
Can this be done? How? Thanks.
Michael

+Menu > Insert > Section Break+
at the bottom of where you want the numbering to start/change.
Click in the body text of the page and set how you want each sections numbering to appear in:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers+
In the 2nd section make sure you uncheck:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Use previous headers & footers+

Outside in Viewer resets the page number to 1 always, even though the Word document has page numbering starting from different value.

Hi All,
I've a Word Document with page header having page number inserted.However the page numbers have been formatted to start from a value other than 1.
E.g. For a given word document, navigate to "File -> Insert -> Page number-> format page number -> start at " and set the value to say "300". Now insert page numbers, so that the page numbering of the 1st page starts from 300.
When this document is viewed using Outside-in Viewer, the page number of the 1st page always shows 1 instead of showing 300 (though this is not being reset/changed within the actual document)
I'm using Outside in 8.1.9 SDK for the same. Is there an API to set the page number correct (exactly what has been set within the original document) while viewing...
Alternatively confirm if this is a limitation within the Outside-in Viewer.
Thanks,
Badri

You're going to need to open an SR to Outside In Support, Product ID 2276.
Make sure you attach an example Word doc to the SR.

Define sections in a document
In the Pages panel, select the first page in the section you want to define.
Choose Layout > Numbering & Section Options, or choose Numbering & Section Options in the Pages panel.
If you’re changing the numbering options for any page other than the first page of the document, make sure that Start Section is selected. This option marks the selected page as the beginning of a new section.
As necessary, specify the numbering and section options (see Document numbering options), and then click OK. A section indicator icon appears above the page icon in the Pages panel, indicating the start of a new section.
To end the section, repeat the section numbering steps on the first page that follows the section.

Working on existing document; two forms of page numbers (starts as i,ii,iii and moves to 2,3,4)

I inherited a facing-pages document with two master pages. They are supposed to have page numbers in them (1,2,3,4 etc) but the first few pages of the document are i,ii,iii etc. and I can't figure out how to change them. Can anyone help?

That's pretty standard formatting for a document divided into sections withthe first section containing front matter and the "real" page 1 appearing further into the file. What's the first page number after the i, ii,iii ... series?
Number style is changed by slecting the first page of a section (it will have a small triangle above it) in the Pages panel and going to the Numbering And Section Options where you will find a drop-down for number style. It's a bad idea to have multiple pages with the same logical page number using the same number style, and ID will complain.

Adobe Pro X and Bates/Page Numbering Cuts off 1/3 of Page - Please Help

Hello!
We have been using both the bates and page numbering features in Adobe Pro X on Windows 7 with various .pdf files. However, when we scan files using Adobe Pro 6 on XP in combination with a Visioneer/Xerox Documate 632 scanner, and when adding bates or page numbers to these files, the image on the page shifts and cuts off one-third of the image. (We use Adobe Pro 6 and XP with this scanner because Pro 6 is not compitable with Windows 7 and Pro X requires too many mouse clicks when compared to Pro 6; thus saving time in the field. We like the page and bates numbering feature in Pro X because it shrinks the document to avoid overwriting texts and graphics.
Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue aside from using Pro X with the time spent using the additional mouse clicks?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Suzbat,
If you try to print any other document from any other application. Did you check, are you facing the same issue or not?
Have you tried to install latest drivers of the printer.

Sequential page numbering starting at page 300

Using CS3 on Vista. I want to create a 50 page document that has a sequential page number in the top corner of each page starting at 300 (like an invoice series). I can't seem to figure out the Master page set up to do that. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks.
Gordon

It isn't entirely clear if you mean you want the numbers to be 300, 301, 302...349, or 3001, 3002, 30049.
Michael's suggestion will give you the first, and will roll the numbers over into the 400s if you add enough pages.
If you want some version of the second option, set the 300 as the section prefix and include it in the numbering, then start numbering at 1. You can add a separator character of your choice by typing it into the prefix, but if you want a space you need to use a non-breaking space or other fixed width space. If you don't know the keyboard shortcuts for those, copy one to the clipboard and paste into the field.
