Page numbering Indesign CS3

Hi All

I have designed a book in Indesign. The book consists of 77 pages. Indesign automatically numbers page number 1 as pg.1, page 2 as 2, etc.

Now my question: I would like the first four pages to be completely blanco, thus I would like page number 5 to be treated as page number 1 by Indesign. So in actual fact I need the first four pages to remain as a part of the document but I need indesign to ignore them and only start auto page numbering at page 5.

I have explored the Number & Section Options and I have tried the 'start section at page 5'. But then page 6 and 7 is still numbered as page 10 and 11 - exactly what I don't want.

Does anybody have some advice/tips for me. It will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

In the pages panel see that page 5 is selected by double clicking on it.

Then go to the Number & sections options and choose start page at and type the number 1.

This means that page 5 of your document will be numbered as page one.

No get rid of the page numbers on page 1 to 4.
