How do I put header and not page number on first page?

Yes. The easier to way to do is to first uncheck "different first page", and
then use page break/ section break. After having the first number on both the
cover page and first page, you choose to click enable/ check "different first
page", so you can remove the number on the cover page and keep the first
number on your first page.

Hopefully, this is clear enough. I did it by using this way.

Why in the world would you go to that much trouble when "Different first
page" already achieves what you want?

hi, im doing a thesis and i need to keep everything in the same word document
but want the page numbering to begin on page 4 but to say that its page 1. in
other words, i dont want a header on the cover page or the title page, etc. i
tried putting in the code you have above, but cant manage to hide the code,
am i supposed to be typing it straight into the header field?

thanks for your help,

C

Using Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters, use the following
field construction:

{ IF { PAGE } 3 { = { PAGE } - 3 } }

To toggle off the display of the field codes, use Alt+F9

If your thesis will need to have a TOC, don't use the field construction
Doug provided; instead see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm (Word 2003 and
earlier) or http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...atter_2007.htm,
as
appropriate.

I have tried this and it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

By field construction, I mean the following combination of fields

{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } }

To give you a step by step approach, Type

IF PAGE 1 PAGE

Then in turn, select each of the words PAGE and with it selected, hold down
the Ctrl key and press F9

You will then have

IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE }

Now select all of the above and with it all selected, hold down the Ctrl key
and press F9, you will then have

{ IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } }

Hold down the Alt key and then press F9 to hide the field codes.

I have the same problem regarding the above. I have no idea what you mean
by
"field construction in the Header", and "field delimiters"??? But I know
how to toggle

If you wanted the number to start from 1 on the second page, use

{ IF { PAGE } 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } }

I need to set up a document (no section breaks) with the header the same
on
every page and start numbering on the second page. When I uncheck
"number
first page" in the footer, it also deletes the header from the first
page.
I've tried inserting the footer/page number and then the header, but
nothing
works. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Have you followed the step by step approach that was given?

Or are you merely typing { IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } } directly from the
keyboard.
