How to insert page number Starting from 3rd or 4th page

[maamiradina]

Hi Dear All
I composed a book in office,


But now I want to insert Page numbers to it,
But I want to insert page numbers from 6th page,
Because from 1 to 6 page it contains , Table of contents, and cover page.
So How I shall insert page numbers that starting from 6th page?
Thank You

On the Insert Ribbon select Page Number and then Format Page Number. In the box there is an option to choose from which page you want you numer to appear (Start at) and simply type in the page you wish the Numbering to start from

That doesn't do what the original poster wanted; that will insert page number on all pages, but the first page will be numbered using the page number entered into the 'Start At' dialog. This would put a '6' on the first page, not add page numbers starting on page 6.
