please help start page numbers on page 3

Starting the page numbering at Page 3 is simple and can be achieved in a number of ways thanks to Microsoft's flexible programming.

I assume that ' I'd like to see '3' at the bottom' was a typo. and sould have read ' I'd like to see '1' at the bottom' ?

Add a section break at the end of page two. Open the footer view. Unlink the footers and put the page numbers in the new section footer only. Restart the numbering from 1. (Format Page Numbers)

Yes... yes it was.

Your suggestion works gmayor, but is there a way to insert a section break without shoving the text down?
