How can I change the page number of the first page of my document to something other than '1'?
- Click in the first paragraph of your first page and select Format > Paragraph (or right-click and select Paragraph from the pop-up menu).
- Go to the 'Text Flow' tab.
- Under 'Breaks', select 'Insert'.
- Make sure it says 'Page' as Type, and 'Before' as Position.
- Select 'With Page Style' and choose 'Default' as Page Style (or any other style according to your needs).
- Now choose the page number you need. Note that the '0' in the Page Number dropdown list does not denote a page number but simply means that the present page number won't be changed.
