can someone please advise if it is possible to start the page numbering on another page other than the front... basically i donht want page numbering on the title, abstract , acknowledgements or index..
dont do any numbering till you get to the last part of the last page you dont want numbers on.
then clicko n insert > break > section break (next page)
then go to the header / footer of the new page, click on "link to previous" in the toolbar to unlink either from the previous section. then you can start your numbering
