Mac Pages is by far the most confusing when it comes to page numbers. They need an award for how complicated it is.

It is - but I find that when I finally find how to do something it just seems so obvious and easier than Word - problem is there isn't enough How to? for Pages out there. This channel does the trick! Thanks

AFTER five hours trying to get experts to assist me with this formatting. I really wish I got thank you with more than words. lol, it took me three times watching your video. what persons might not get is the necessary part of placing a section break at the bottom of the first page, then continuing on with the going to the second page and highlighting it. and then removing that clicked button and so forth.

I need help still. I am needing the cover of my book to not be numbered. However, when going to the section part to change the page numbering format to start numbering on the second page, nothing under "page numbering" is highlighted so I can't make changes. I changed between the cover page and the table of contents page from "page break" to "section break' as you suggested but I am still not able to number my pages excluding the cover. Can you help?

When I turn off "Match previous section" ALL page numbers disappear on the document. Then I put in my starting page number and all pages in the [2nd] section are the same number. When I try to do this process a second time for practice, page numbering in the sidebar is greyed out. Then I wait and go back in, following your video (as I do each time, even getting the above results) and this time it works. :/ ---------- It's 3 weeks later, and page numbers is greyed out for this document, too. What do I do wrong????? Why is it greyed out?? I've been trying all afternoon.

Well, I have tried all ways to get this right. Just like the example I want to start the main document on the third page as page 1. Not sure how I got here but every single page is now page 1. The same happens whether I'm in page layout or word processing. And if start a new section I get more blank pages ... I have tried this before and usually end up printing the title page as a separate document and numbering the main document from page 1. Seems I can't even do that now.
@macmost2 жыл бұрын
It sounds like you maybe just placed the number "1" in the footer. So instead of the page number, it just always shows "1." Go to the footer and delete the number 1, and use Insert, Page Number to place the page number there instead.

I have title, copyright, forward, and preface pages that should not have any page number. I want Page 1 to begin after those four pages. When I try to insert page number on that fifth page, it starts with "Page 5". If I change that to 1, all pages become Page 1. Even with adding a section break, the same thing happens. This should be SIMPLE. Pages is very annoying. This is why many Mac owners have Microsoft Word installed.
