Default Page Numbers in Microsoft Works

Can anyone explain to me how to add page numbers in Microsoft Works to a document, starting with page 5? The Help function does not tell me.

click on 'inserts' tab and then click on 'page numbers'? will likely do all - not just start @ pg 5 though. maybe you can delete manullly from prior pages?

I clicked on Insert, page, but all it did is put in the roman numeral 1, then 11. Each time I had to click on Insert, then page. Isn't there an automatic way to do this?

go to File then page setup then other options - this should work but this is Microsoft Works the absolute worse word processing program on the free market....because what should work does not usually!

That describes Works perfectly. Good luck with your endeavor.

Oops, forgot to mention how it works in MS Word -- go to insert, footer, format how you want page numbering to look and tell it to begin on page 5. Works should be pretty similar. (If not, give me a shout out and I'll see if I can help you out.)
