P,

       Uh...  what text editor...?

   I want to number the pages in my book starting with
   the fourth page as number 1 The first page is the title
   page the second holds the ISBN number and the third page
   is the index.

   How do I do this?

   I am using the open office Word Processor AKA Writer

   Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Manually insert a page break.  (Insert->manual break)  Select Page
break.  Set style to Default.  Do this 3 times for your frontis material.

Manually insert a page break.  *Set style to First Page.*  Set page
number to 1.

Insert a footer (insert->footer->first page).  This adds the footer only
to your first page (not the defaults pages up front)

Click in the footer.  insert a page number (insert->fields->Page Number).

You now have a page number starting at 1 on the 4th page of the document...

Sun n Fun. The next one will be on motor mounts.
