Publisher page numbering

[RedSnapper]

I want the page numbers to start on page 2.  Page 1 is a cover. On the Master A I insert "Page Number" of "Total Pages" and assign page 2 to Master A. But the numbers on page two show 3 of 2. Which is rather strange because there are only two pages in the doc.

Have a look at the Section Manager. Section 1 spans pages 1 and 2. And there is "Start page numbering at" (value) 2 (Start on page: 1). So you have "3 pages" with a 2 pages document. My hint: You do not need the section manager.

Thank you for the reply Joachim.  Your suggestion about about Sections made me think. I created a new section that starts on page 2. On the Master for total pages I insert "Last page in Section run". So now on page 2 I have" Page 1 of 2" and on page 3 "Page 2 of 2".
