Hi!

To put different headers and footers, first create two sections (at the top). Then, in the Document tab, deselect the option for the same headers and footers in different sections. Now, in the second section, at the numbering to the header or footer of the page by selecting it and clicking insert page number. This will automatically be repeated on in the document section.

Hope this helps!

Adding one more option to consider when following slothMan1's instructions:


You have the choice of continuing the page numbers from the previous section (even though you've chosen to not display page numbers in that section) or setting a starting number for the page numbers in the second section, and letting Pages coninue rom there.


Regards,

Barry


PS: there's also the option of numbering the first section with lower case Roman numerals, then restarting the numbers for the main (large) section and choosing to use the regular Arabic numerals there.
