lixie Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hello, I have the following simple layout: Cover page Page 1 (Master A) Page 2 (Master A) Page 3... etc (Master A) I added page numbering to Master A. As you can see, the cover page doesn't have a master. Yet, page numbering starts with the cover page because Page 1 shows "2". I want Page 1 to show "1" not "2". The help section says "To suppress page numbering on initial sections (e.g. Contents or Preface) don't assign a master page." https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Pages/numberingPages.html?title=Numbering pages Apparently that is not correct since my cover page doesn't have a master yet it seem to count as page one. Thanks for any pointers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hi, you need to create a section to restart page numbering. Choose Window > Section Manager, add a section, and restart page numbering. What the help page is referring to with not applying a master page is for not displaying a page number on a page, it doesn't have anything to do with the numbering of pages. I've explained all this in the free manual for Publisher I've shared in this forum. The link is in my signature.
