how to add page numbers in Pages starting from the fifth page

I've written a 250 page document and want to number the pages but have them start from the fifth page in, not the first page. How is this done, please?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

In your menu Insert > Section Break between page 4 and page 5. Page 5 on is now in a new section.


Make thumbnails visible via View at left of the Toolbar and click page 5.


In the Section tab in the formatting panel at the right click the radio button for Start at: and enter the page number you want to start with.
