Default Page Numbers in footer

In PageSetup you can direct the number of the first page.

From the Menu Bar:
<File <PageSetup <Page tab,

At the bottom, in the "First Page Number" box,
Change the "Auto" to 1.

BTW, if you use "Page n of n", this will *not* change the total page count.
That will continue to display the total pages in the print job, even though
the individual page numbers will reset with each Sheet.

On a like topic, does anyone know how when printing a multi-page
workbook I can get the page count to reset for each worksheet?

For example, my workbook may contain 5 worksheet that each are 10
pages long. When I print the workbook it prints them 1 to 50. What I
would like is for each worksheet to be numbered 1 to 10.
