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 choose Format → Paragraph (or right-click and select Paragraph from the pop-up menu).
- Select the Text Flow tab.
- Under Breaks, select Insert.
- In this box, Type should be set to Page, and Position should be set to Before.
- 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.
