For some reason not working for me Tony. These are the steps I'm taking: 1. Move cursor to end of coversheet 2. Insert > Manual Break > Page Break > OK 3. Format > Paragraph 4. Select the "Text Flow" tab. 5. Check Insert 6. Check With Page Style 7. Set Page_number to 1 8. Click OK 9. No page numbers :(
