\setcounter{page}{17} in TeX Mode (red text) or in the LaTeX-Preamble will
set the number of the first page to 17.

\copyright in TeX Mode (red text) should do the trick. Otherwise you have
to configure your keyboard over the xmodmap command. There is a nice program
to do this easyly - xkeycaps - you could try that. One example:
keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis
should put the u key with AltGr to ü
Hope this helps!
