OpenOffice Writer Page # Question

TO: Anybody familiar with OpenOffice Writer
FROM: Fifty Q. Fiftyson

Does anybody know how to make it so that the 1st page of a document will not count towards the page number when I insert a page number field? Basically, I want a title page on my document, and I also want to have page numbers on all subsequent pages, but I do not want the page numbers to count the title page (so I want the 1st non-title page to say that its page 1).

Insert field > other > page > page numbers > set offset to -1.

Thanks! I figured out how to do it another way using breaks (have 1st page be in 1st page style, 2nd page in default style and go to breaks and make sure it starts at pg 1), but thanks nonetheless!
