How to start page numbering from a specific page in a document

How to start page numbering from a specific page in a document

Overview

By default, Zoho Writer begins numbering pages from the first page and continues sequentially throughout the document. But what if you want the numbering to begin on, say, page 5—perhaps to skip a cover page or table of contents? The solution is to use a Section Break (Next Page) to divide your document into parts, then insert page numbers within the target section only. This gives you full control over where numbering begins. 

Steps 


The default page numbering system will start on the first page, and continue until the last page. To use start page number from a specific page

Step 1: Insert a "Section Break - Next page" between each section of your document where you want the numbering to start.



Step 2: Go to header & footer tab and select 'Current Section' and insert page number
