Word Page numbers

Posted by Anonymous September 18, 2008 - 11:22am

I am editing a contract and want the page numbers to start after the cover page. I have made a section break between the cover page and have inserted auto text into the footer 'page x of y' but the 'y' counts the cover page and thus the last page footer states that it is 'page 24 of 25'

Can anyone please help!!!
