Apple Word problem [View all]

FINAL UPDATE:

THANKS AGAIN to all who tried to help. I figured out the problem -- I needed to insert a "continuous page break" not just a page break. Geez.


For the record, this was my question that generous DUers helped me with:

I have an old Mac, with Word 2011, installed 14.7.3.

Yes, I know, I'm supposed to replace it.

In the meantime, all I want to do is number a 12 page document, so that the first two pages have no numbers, and the next 10 pages are numbered 1-10.

I've googled for the answer, and read posts recommending section breaks, and I inserted one, but can't manage the next step.

I finally gave up and asked my in-home tech person (Phd engineer) for help, and that person is a PC user who thinks all Macs suck.

Does anyone out there know how to do this? It used to be SIMPLE. Even I could do it. But it isn't simple anymore.

At least, I don't think it is.



ON UPDATE: I tried this and it didn't work.
