EkimEnaid Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 How to remove page numbers on pages 1 & 2 and continue with page 1 on page 3 etc. in Publisher? In support help topic it says: "To suppress page numbering on initial sections (e.g. Contents or Preface) don't assign a master page." I wasn't sure about that so I added two a master pages without numbers (since the doc is single page non facing) and assigned one of the masters to page 1 & the other to page 2. Now how do I get the 3rd page to start with page 1 and not 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You need to use the Section Manager. Create a new section that starts on physical page 3, and then set the section printable page number to start on 1.

EkimEnaid Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 The option on Section Manager - Start On Page - is grayed out and I can't set the section printable page number to start on 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Did you create a new section? You have to do that.

EkimEnaid Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Okay I'm confused. I clicked on Document and then Section Manager. It's on the Section Manager pop up window that - "Start On Page" in Section Manager - is grayed out. So I'm confused on creating a new section. I thought that was done the was I stated above.

You need to have 2 sections. The first one will have two unnumbered pages (controlled by the Master Page you assign to them). The second section will start on physical page 3, but it's page number will start at 1, and you will use a different Master Page that includes the page number.

EkimEnaid Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have Master A with odd pages and Master B with even. I have Master C without page numbers for the 1st page and Master D for the 2nd, and these two pages do not have page numbers. I assigned Master A to odd pages 3, but it doesn't have page 1, it has page 3, and the same for Master B. I'm sorry Walt but I'm just not getting it and don't understand how to get page 3 to be page 1 and page 4 to be page 2. I did it on another Doc in the past but can't remember how I did it.

Old Bruce Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Make two sections, the first one, call it Front Matter, will start on Page 1 and is unchangeable. The second section, call it Actual Book or what ever you wish, can start on Page 3 and that one you can have the page numbering start at 1. Or 23 or 7 or what ever you like.

EkimEnaid Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you Bruce, What I'm not understanding is how to make two section as you have described. When I clicked on Document and then Section Manager the Section Manager pop up window "Start On Page" in Section Manager - is grayed out. So I'm confused on creating a new section. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good way to learn what those cryptic icons do is to set the Preferences > User Interface > Tooltip Delay slider almost all the way to the left so that when you hover the pointer over one of them, its name pops up almost immediately.

Assuming, of course, that you noticed them at all. In addition to the usual Affinity UI issues with contrast, they're sometimes quite far away from everything else in the panel or dialog, and may be completely missed.

It’s not just a question of low contrast. They’re so faint that they look as though they’re disabled.

They are faint because there is so little contrast difference between them & the background behind them. Increase that difference substantially, & do the same for the enabled vs. disabled states, & this problem all but disappears.
