Page numbers will NOT start on page 3

[MEW]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Page numbers will NOT start on page 3.

I have tried 3 solutions offered by Mactopia.

Could the problem be that I am not useing the section breaks correctly?

At the end of a page should I have a page break and section break when the page set up changes. Word does not seem to like this--it makes a whole new page and won't let me delete that page without deleting the section break.

You don't want both a page break AND a section break; that would only
confuse things. If you don't need the page settings to change, then
just use a page break. But if you do want to change the settings,
then use a section break.

In your case, you probably want a section break at the end of Page 2.
Then define Pages 1 and 2 to not have page numbers in the header/footer,
and define Pages 3 etc. to have page numbers.
