number in the Start at spin box. The number appears in the Start at spin box.

8. Select OK .

Click OK

The Page Number Format dialog box closes and the page numbering is formatted.

Notice that the page number does not appear at the top of the first page. Scroll to the top of the second page, which is the first page with content. Notice that the page numbering in the second page header starts on page 1.

Notice that despite this change to the page numbering format, the Status Bar shows the second page as Page: 2 of 4 . Word still numbers the pages consecutively from the first page in the document, no matter what page numbering format you use. The document pagination will not show in the document unless you insert it; however, you need to remember that when printing, for example, page 2, Word will print the second page of the document, not the page numbered or formatted as 2 in the content.
