Frequently asked questions

How do I skip the title page?

Set “Start on page” to 2. If the second page should show number 1, leave “First number” at 1.

Can I use “Page 1 of 10”?

Yes, choose that format. The total counts only the pages that get a number.

Will page numbers cover my content?

Numbers are placed inside the margin you choose. Increase the margin if your document has content close to the edge.
