how to create continous pg numbering in this situation (see msg)?

[Seb]

Let's say there are 3 pages: X, Y, and Z. I want X to be Page 1, Y
unnumbered, and Z to be Page 2. How to achieve it?

I know I can manually set Z to start at #2, but I want to rule this option
out. Anyway that the page number in Z can be linked to X, skipping Y?

Thank you in advance!

Create a field code of the form
{if {page} < 2 {page} {if {page} = 2 "" ={{page} + 1}}}

Thanks for your solution. You solution assumes that we know Y is going to be
page 2 (and hence 2 is hard-coded in the field code)

Let's say we have a slightly more complicated situation: Now if I add pages
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I... after Z. The intended numbering scheme is as
follows:

X (page 1), Y, Z (page 2), A, B(page 3), C(page 4), D, E (page 5), F (page
6), G, H (page 7), I (page 8) ...

In fact, the unnumbered Y, A, D, G are the pages that separate the previous
section from the next section. This separator page should be unnumbered, and
the page number on the page before and after the separator page should have a
difference of one.

Many thanks!
