How do you number pages but start the numbering on the second page, while omitting the page number from the first page (my title page)

I have recently changed from Word to Pages 5.5. I want to create a document with a title page (no number) and the second page as Page 1. It is quite simple to do in Word, but I cannot find a way to do it in Pages.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi Ryanlipp;


  • Insert a section break
  • Place cursor in the newly created section (page)


In the Document panel:

  • select Insert page number: 1.
  • Under Numbering, select start at: 1

It starts numbering from number 1 in the new page (2nd page).

  • Now place the cursor in the previous page (Ist page).
  • Select Hide on first page section.

This hides page number in the first page of the document.

I hope, this is what you are after.


Regards,
