I successfully created a reference to page 8 on page 8. Then on page 5
I created a cross reference to the reference on page 8. And the cross
reference now says "see page <8>," where the <8> is a field (grayed).
So far, so good.
This works just peachy except that the first four pages of the document
are front matter and are not numbered. I created a new section at the
end of page four and added headers with the page numbers starting on
page 5 with an offset of -4. The page number on physical page 5 says
"page 1."
So when the user is on page 1 and sees the reference to page 8 the user
will go to page 8 and not find the material. The material is on the
page that is numbered 4 (physical page 8).
I can't figure out how to create an offset for the reference. Can
anyone tell me how to do it?
Don't use an offset for the page number on page 5. Instead, restart page
numbering with 1 on that page, using the technique explained here:
