Howard,
Please re-read what the original poster was looking for :
on page 1 he wanted "page 1" (e.g. the cover page)
on page 2 he wanted "page 2"
on page 3 he wanted "page 2"
on page 4 he wanted "page 3"
on page 5 he wanted "page 3"
on page 6 he wanted "page 4"
on page 7 he wanted "page 4"
To do "normal" page number is quite easy, but what this user wants is a bit
more difficult but not impossible. Of course I could have misunderstood the
poster completely.
