    Hi, You did put a section break - but did you disconnect the second section from the first one? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-different-page-numbers-or-number-formats-to-different-sections-bb4da2bd-1597-4b0c-9e91-620615ed8c05 Kind regards Hans

      hansleroy I did everything I was instructed to do, but it still starts numbering at page 8 instead of page 1.  I need someone in the room with me to prove that I'm not crazy!
