Start Auto-Page Numbers a Few Pages In

Just like the title says.
I'm writing a long paper, and in the footer I wanna put in auto-page numbers on the third page. If I select the third page and then turn the setting on, it just starts on the first page! How do I start the numbering on the third page?
Thanks a ton!

Put in a section break at the end of the 2nd page:
+Menu > Insert > Section Break+
Then go to 3rd page:
+Inspector > Layout > Sections > Start at: 1+

How do i start auto pages from a number other than one?, How do i start auto pages from a number other than one?

How do i start my auto numbering from a different number. Although page one is page one in my document it is not page one in the whole file that I am submitting.

Menu > Insert > Section Break at end of 1st page
Move to 2nd page
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at: 1
Delete anything in the header /footer of the 1st page you don'y want (like the page number).

Master pages do no display auto page numbering

This is strange. I set up auto page numbering on the master pages and the document pages display the page numbers correctly. But later on I thought the page numbers were too large so I went to the master pages to change the size and there's nothing. Thinking the page numbers were hidden from view or somehow were white in color (i.e, they were there but weren't being displayed) I chose Select All but still nothing.

You're a genius. Happy Thanksgiving.

How do I Auto Page NOT starting from page 1?

Please help. I need to Auto Page successive documents, each document starting with a page following the last page of the previous document. How???

Hello Hedvika,
I'm going to assume that you have the new Pages, for Mavericks, even though your profile still shows ML.
In Setup Pane, Section Tab, you will find the controls.

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?

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".

Want my page numbers to start on page 3 (nothing on 1,2)

I don't want page numbers on my front cover or inside cover. I want the page numbers to actually start on page 3... page 3 on page 3. How can I NOT have page numbers on the first two pages (cover and inside cover)?

Hi Dennis,
I've just spent twenty minutes trying to get a 'specific' answer to my question -- reading through previous posts ... and I still haven't found it. One of the things I love about this forum, all forums, is that I can ask a specific question and usually get an answer (and sometimes even GIVE an answer) in very short order, avoiding spending huge amounts of time reading irrelevant material. I make films. I use about five very complicated apps non-stop all day long (sometimes all night too). My brain hurts from reading manuals. My eyes hurt worse. It would never be my intention to abuse a forum that is so good to me. And you can't imagine my appreciation level when I do get a quick concise answer to something I can't solve myself.
All the best,
Ben

How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

Gorgeous Hello All,
If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
A hurdle :-
I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
-> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
(I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
Help Please

Thanks Indeed of lots for your concerns Jeff !!!

Cross-reference auto-page numers?

Can anyone tell me why i cannot get cross-references to work with automatic page numbering? Is there some fundamental error i am making? I have the master files setup with auto-page numbering based on 'current page.' All of my pages are numbered sequentially as 1, 2, 3, etc. and setup with a unique paragraph style. however, when i try to reference a page number in the document, none of the pages show up under the paragraph style in the cross-reference menu. I have even tried to use ctrl+shft+click on the desired reference page to bring the page number frame from the master file onto that specific page, but the text still does not show up in the cross-references menu. I feel as though i must be making some sort of mistake because it seems this could be one of the more obvious/widespread uses for the cross-reference feature. Any help would be great. Perhaps there is simply another way to do this? Thanks!

Peter,
I understand that this is probably a more specific use of the feature, no doubt. It is ultimately unrealistic to expect a program to work exactly as each individual user's project approach dictates. I dont take the comment as a slam, dont fret.
My confusion and concern ultimately stems from the fact that, on the surface (granted, I am definitely not a programmer ), it seems like the ability to directly reference the page number would be, almost inherently, already built-in in the sense that the page number is recognized as a product of content placement. In other words, if the cross-reference knows that changes to the document composition have caused my referenced content to move from auto-numbered page 36 to auto-numbered page 37, yet the reference cannot exist to simply the page number itself. It has to exist via the content on taht page. Hopefully I have provided and explanation which makes sense!
In all honesty, the ability to reference only content and not also page number is only goingot set me back about half. For my sake, I have a 300 page document which includes hundreds of figures/illustrations, all of which correspond to text explanations in a different part of the document. Over time, it is anticipated that standards and graphics will be added/subtracted/changed, and therefore, so will the section numbering, page numbering, figure numbering, and the corresponding pages on which all of these pieces of info will occur. We would like to correspond figures and sections to one number; in this case, the page. Because each figure/illustration will have it's own page, it is desired to make the figure number and page number match to achieve an easier means of navigating the book. Basically, I want the text section, which will be read first, to reference figure numbers and/or page numbers (at this point, i have the option of choosing one or the other), but both of these numbers are going to dynamically update.
So, if that made any sense at all (ha), is there a way to use the cross references to point at a number that is set to automatically/dynamically change? If there is not, then perhaps I will simply have to create static figure numbers for the referenced content and then just let the page numbers change over time. If you have any other suggestions, I am definitely open to exploring them!
Thanks for the continued help!

Hi, Garrett:
If I understand your description correctly, it seems that you're asking for an unusual numbering/navigation approach. Is there an example that you've seen that works this way, and that you want to emulate? Is this a publishing style/convention in the particular industry?
Am I correct in imagining that in a document that contains three figures on discontiguous pages, they might be numbered something like this:
Page #
Figure #
1
1
15
15
250
250
This would result in no figures 2, 3...14...249. Would your document have references to figure 15 on page 15? Would you want your list of figures (LOF) to resemble:
Figure number and title Page
1. Example of the widget in question ............................. 1
15. Example of another widget ......................................... 15
(sorry about the messy table layout - the HTML is tricky)
Would your audience be concerned that the figure numbers are not consecutive across a multi-chapter book, or consecutive within a chapter, and restart in each chapter? That is, would a reader think that some figures are missing?
Is there a specific objection to figure 11 on page 26 becoming figure 11 on page 28, if text content were inserted, or becoming figure 16 on page 29 if figures were inserted? When numbered-list paragraph styles and cross-reference formats are set up properly, cross-references to these figures would update to indicate both the correct number and correct page.
Have I misunderstood something?
[EDIT]
I forgot to ask if your document will be using cross-references interactively in a PDF or other multimedia format. If so, can you give more detail on your expectations?
Have you looked into InDesign hyperlinks? They can refer to a page number - either "sticking" to the designated page no matter if its page number changes because of reflow or being moved, or "sticking" to whatever happens to become the "n-th" page if the original page is relocated. Search Help for Create a hyperlink to a page.

Hi
My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
Good luck

Why is there a thick line in the page margin when I use auto page number?

I am having a problem with an automatic line which appears in the left, in the page margin, outside the footer whenever I insert auto page numbering into a booklet. This line looks like a thick "l" and is on the left of each page despite the numbers being on the 'outside' (alternate sides) of each page.
The line only disappears when the numbers are removed. I cannot highlight/edit the line and they show up as short thick marks, the height of the font on each numbered page when the document is printed.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of them?

Thank you, fruhulda.
Actually that is what I am doing as a workaround. It works but it requires me to make an unnecessary extra copy of the document. And after doing that, I sometimes carelessly keep working on the copy instead of the original, which results in untracked modifications. So I hope there should be a way to just hide the lines.
If there's no option to hide them, I think this is a bug of "View Final" mode, in which the document should be viewed in the "final" form.

Start-up page problem

i am getting a start-up which i have changed in settings but it's not working.
please tell me, what should i do to keep blank start-up page.?

Your current home page setting appears to be Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/) according to the System Details List.
Is that the page that you want to use?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
*"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
*"Show my home page"
*"Show a blank page"
You can also check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file and the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js to reset all prefs to the default value or edit the prefs.js file and remove corresponding lines present in user.js from prefs.js to reset involved prefs.

Auto Page Number Disappears

I'm using the "Page n of m" custom library object on one of my forms. After saving the form in Designer, I open it up in Acrobat 7.0 Pro or Reader 7.0. The page numbers are displayed as expected.
After inputting information in and on exit from any field on the form, the page numbers disappear. The only way the page numbers reappear is if a dynamic field causes the document to repaginate.
Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it so that the page numbers are always visible? I've tried it on several documents and it always does the same thing. Very frustrating!
WinXP; using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0, Acrobat 7.0 Pro and Reader 7.0.

I use the same program version and I don't have this problems.
I have the auto page numbers on the format page.
If this doesn't work, maybe you can try to change the page numbers initialization at the event initialize, or put it on the calculate event.
I don't know if this can help you! I hope so!

Auto Page Number Change Font or Delete?

After translation from Word to Pages, the auto page number font causes the third digit of the page number to appear outside margin of header. How can I change font or delete and put in new page number?

Usually the page numbering from Word are have objects that are not selectable. That is until you have made them selectable by going Arrange > Make background object selectable. You might need to go Format > Advanced > Make Master object selectable too.
Delete them and use Pages version instead, Insert > Page Number
