I can make a new page style and attach it to the first page, however, changing the page style has no effect on the headers and footers- they are still linked to the document as a whole, even if I create Default 1 with no headers and footers they still appear. Here's what I've tried: I have tried toggling between Default and Default 1 in the page styles setting. and I need it to go like this: blank-blank-blank-1-2-3-4-5-6. The issue I'm having is that the numbering will start over, but the first three pages are numbered as well. I know how to add the page number, and I know how to get it to start back at 1. I need the page numbering to start on page 4 as 1, and the first three need to be blank. The first three pages are a title page, a copyright page, and a chapter index. Here's my problem: I need to format a 500 page document into a print-ready, single file. There are many suggestions, but none that work for my particular problem so far. I have read many, many online tutorials, forum discussions, I've consulted Facebook, and my people at work- no one has the answer I need. I know this topic has been discussed a lot, but I am still having formatting problems.
