How can I change the page number of the first page of my document to something other than '1'?


  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).
  2. Go to the 'Text Flow' tab.
  3. Under 'Breaks', select 'Insert'.
  4. Make sure it says 'Page' as Type, and 'Before' as Position.
  5. Select 'With Page Style' and choose 'Default' as Page Style (or any other style according to your needs).
  6. 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.
