Page Numbering starting on 3
 

Hello All
I have a 10 page excel spreadsheet. I want to add numbering to it but I
want page 1 to actually start on page 3 and increment from there is there a
way to do that?

I see you can start the page numbering on page 3 but leaving 1 and 2 blank
but I want page 3 to be labeled page 1

Thanks

Try this:

<file<page setup<page tab
Set First Page Number: 3

Does that help?

Thanks Ron not quite what I wanted was page 3 to start with the number 1 so
the real page 1 & 2 are left blank

Here's a thought....

Create 2 Custom Views

-View1 would only inlcude Page1 and Page2 with no page num in the footer.

-View2 would only the remaining pages with a starting page num of 3 in the
footer.

Then, if you have the Report Manager add-in you might be able to include
those 2 views in the settings.

Is that something you can work with?
