Two Page Spread -- 2 Covers

[N.I.]

Hello -- sorry if this has been answered somewhere already.

I'm working on a small Yearbook -- it's 52 pages, counting the front and
back covers. What I'd like to have is the front cover, a "blank" page [a
2nd cover essentially], and then two page spreads until the end, where
there's that last blank page, and then the back cover.

It's like two covers at the front and back with two-page spreads in between.
But I can't figure out how to make the two-page spread begin with pages 3 &
4 [not 2 & 3], which is throwing the whole thing off.

Should I simply take out the first and last page -- the hardcover cover
pages -- and then send that in to print in a separate file?

Insert, section. You can designate the starting page.

Hmm, I tried that...
[2007 edition]

Right clicked on the pages, insert section, checked the box that said begin
a section with this page, and that split it.

But after then trying 2 pg spread, it didn't change anything -- it's still
putting 1 separate, then 2 & 3 together. I'd like 1 separate, 2 separate,
and then starting with 3 & 4, two page spreads.

Do I need to do something differently with the section insert?

After you create the section, you have to go back and insert the page numbers.
