We perform similar actions with the second page.


If you completed all the steps correctly, the numbering in your document will start from the third page. If you need your third page not to have its own serial number, but for example, 1 or 2, then this can be done in the " tabPage number". In this tab, select the sub-item "Page Number Format" and in paragraph "begin with"select the number you need. Numbering a Word 2010 document from the third page is difficult at first glance.
