FAQ

How do I start page numbers from the second page or another specific page?

1. Place the cursor at the end of the page before the page where numbering should begin.
2. Insert a Next Page Section Break so the following pages become a new section.
3. Enter page number editing for the new section and turn off Link to Previous.
4. Set the page number for the current section again and choose the starting number you need.

How do I use different page number formats for the cover and the main body?

1. Insert a section break between the cover or table of contents and the main body.
2. Enter page number editing in the section for the main body.
3. Turn off Link to Previous and then set the page number format for each section separately.
4. Use one numbering style for the front matter and another style for the main body if needed.

What should I do if page numbers are duplicated or out of order?

1. Check whether the document contains extra section breaks.
2. Confirm that sections meant to use separate numbering have Link to Previous turned off.
3. Open the page number settings again and check whether the starting number is correct.
4. Preview the document again after adjustment to confirm the numbering order.

How do I remove page numbers from only one part of a document without affecting other parts?

1. Split the pages or content you want to handle separately into an independent section.
2. Turn off Link to Previous in that section so its page number settings become independent.
3. Delete the page numbers in the current section.
4. Check that page numbers in other sections remain unchanged.
