Hello,
Most pages I have page numbers, but not all. When i go to insert a page number into the footer, it gives me the option but starting with page 8. How do i strip out the current numbers and start it all over again?
Thanks,
Bill

The cover, index, and Epilogue need to be separate sections where you have disabled Match previous section in each Document panel > Section tab. No page numbering on these. Then the contents of the document that is not these separate sections can have normal page numbering.

Bill, you insert a section break after page 8 and from the Documents panel > Section tab, the Page Numbering section allows you to Start at: 1 again. Your preceding eight pages remain numbered as they were.
How do i strip out all sections and numbering to start all over?
Currently i now have more than 1 numbers overlaying each other at the bottom of the pages in my book.
I've spent a bunch of time trying to fix this and should probably start over.
I started over in a new document. Here's the thing: the cover, index and Epilogue are not to be numbered as pages. I tried to start a new section after them. Yet when i go to start new numbering, it only offers page 8 as a choice. The numbering should begin on page 8 of the document, starting with page 1.
Choices in the section dialogue box seem to be inactive or grey'd out.
What am i missing here?
I think starting over will actually be less work…
It seems by "starting over" you mean cutting the contents of my book and pasting it into a new document.
Would this assumption be incorrect?
Thank you for your suggestion.
Bill
