page numbering question

Postby Eric Wieczorek » Fri Jul 25, 2008 1:23 pm

Can anyone help with this????

In Appleworks, you could create a new document and set the first page to be a number other than 1. For example you could start at 201 so p.1 would actually be 201, p 2. would be 202, p. 3 would be 203 etc. etc.

How do you do this in Pages? I looked in the help but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Same answer I gave in Apple's Pages forum:

This is done in the section tab of the layout inspector. Even though you put the page number in a header or footer, the cursor must be in the body of the document for the option to change the settings to be active.

Thanks for this Peggy (also posted on the other site)

We are half way there but there still is a problem. When I do as you suggest, the page number in the document says 200 (even though it is page one) but the actual print command and the little page indicator icon at the bottom of the page says 1.

So actually when I want to print page 200, I have to print page 1 and this is very confusing.
