I have a document where each chapter has its own title page. Each title page I do not want numbered or to even count as a number. I want the text of each chapter to have page numbers, but again I do not want the title page of each chapter to be numbered or even count as a page number.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The only way I can find to do it is to hide the title pages page number with a white shape. If you need more detailed help please let me know.
No , I wasn't quite right here. I wanted to use first page different but that doesn't go for chapters. You can also insert section breaks before and after each title page and on the chapter title pages delete the page number. In the other sections you have inserted pages numbers. You can in the Inspector palette > Layout tab > Section set which page number to start on.

To achieve your goal, you must insert a section break at the end of every chapter.
play with the different buttons.
If I understand well, you don't want to count the first page of a chapter so,
treat particular case of first page which is the first one in chapter 1
insert the content of this first page then
go to : Inspector > Layout > Section
uncheck the box first page is different
uncheck the box : re-use headers/footers…
back at end of first page
insert a section break
go to : Inspector > Layout > Section
click the button Start with and enter the value 1
uncheck the box first page is different
uncheck the box : re-use headers/footers…
Click in the footer of the second second page of the chapter 1 (1st page of this 2nd section)
trigger the menu item : insert page number
if the chapter #1 contains 4 pages, the first one isn't numbered, the other are numbered 1 to 3.
Athe end of the chapter, insert a section break.
Now we enter the standard scheme
go to : Inspector > Layout > Section
click the button Start with and insert the value (last_page_number_in_chapter_before which is 3 here)
check the box first page is different
uncheck the box : re-use headers/footers…
back to the document
build your pages
the first one in chapter 2 has no number
the second one is numbered 4
continue to build your pages.
At the end of this chapter 2, repeat what I named the standard scheme.
More complicated to explain than to apply 😉
