[Solved] Prevent numbering of first two pages

Post by andreaet17 »

this is on windows 10, with ver 4.1.16

I have a nearly 200 page document with Footers for page numbers, but I want the first 2 pages to not actually be numbered, and I am hitting a wall trying figure out how to get it to not put page numbers on them. any help would be awesome.
