<p>You probably need Page Layout (or just Layout)/First Page Different combined with formatting the page number to start at 1 or 0, depending. That might do it.</p>

<p>It's like you only learn English grammar when you start studying some other language.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I never worked with styles before my publishers told me to pay attention to them, simplify them, all that tommyrot. I'll tell you what is the worst thing about Word... page numbers. Drive me batty. But I never really noticed it before I started trying to do book MS, where you want numbers in the body, but not the first few pages. </p>

<p>Well, I'm used to Word by now and don't seem to have too many problems. I do keep running hand-written notes with chapters and page numbers so I can get to any chapter I want to work on. My only problem happened when I upgraded. The new system is more complicated with more choices. But that isn't as irritating as the new Word locking up my old files and not allowing me to edit them. The safety precautions are a major nuisance.</p>

<p>Yeah, Ann, I guess I didn't properly explain that Scrivener does compile into a Word document for submission (or a number of other options).</p>
<p>Good luck with your seminar, there are loads of writers out there still using Word.</p>
<p>(As for me, there's no going back).</p>
<p>Cheers.</p>
