Now you can see this is a text box and the text starts right after it. I'm going to hit the Delete key to delete that special character.

Let me go and put the cursor right here at the beginning of the next page. So if I go to View, Show Invisibles you can see here a page break symbol. In this case I inserted a page break which is something you may have done as well. So what I want to do is first figure out why this text starts here on the second page. Then the second section is the entire interior contents of the book. Well, I need to break this up into two sections.

This is a cover page and what's worse is we have a page 1 at the top of the cover page which isn't what you typically see on the first page of a PDF or the cover of a book. Now if I were to click here in the Header and Insert Page Number and add that you could see it shows page 2 here which isn't what I want. So it has a picture, a title, and some more information. The first page of this document is a title page or cover page. Anytime you need to skip more pages you just create a new section like that. Maybe they are images or special diagrams created in another app and then this would pick up right here with page 7. So now, say, if I were to save this out as a PDF I can then go and edit the PDF in Preview and insert pages 4, 5, and 6. You can see that every page after that just picks up the next page 8, 9, etc. So now I go from page 3, that last page of this section, to page 7 the first page of this section. In this case 1 but what I want to do is 7. Or I can select Start At and the page numbering will start at whatever I want. It goes from the last page of this section, page 3, to the first page of this section page 4.

You can also see Numbering, Continue from the Previous Section which is what's happening now. You could see here Format you can choose. Under Format, Section you'll see Page Numbering. Click there and you see it goes to Format, Section. You can get out of that by either clicking here or clicking in a blank area like an area outside of the body text. However, if you're working in the document, you're actually typing here or you have and image selected or something, you're going to see under Format things that apply to that selection. Click on a thumbnail there you'll see, under Format, it goes right to Section. One is to click on one of these thumbnails. To get to the Section sidebar there are two ways to do it. The way to do that is to go to the Section sidebar here on the right. So in page 4 here I want that to be page 7. So it's grouping the sections together with this blue highlight there. If I click on the page after that it highlights page four through the end of the document. I can tell because if I click here in the thumbnails on the left, if you don't see these thumbnails go to View and switch to Page Thumbnails there, if I click on any of these first three pages you can see how it highlights the first three pages like that. You can see now I've got page 3 and page 4. Instead of inserting Page Break I'm going to insert a Section Break. We want to actually make it a separate section. We want to have separate page numbering for this next part. But if I were to insert a page break it would split the page right there and I would go to page 4. So let's say after page 3, somewhere in here we want there to be a page break, and then the new page not to be 4 but to be something like 7. Now let's say we want to skip some pages. Now we can see page number 1 for the Header for that page, then 2, then 3, and so on. Just use something standard like just putting the page number. Now it doesn't make sense to do 1 of 52 if we're going to be skipping pages because that count is not going to be accurate. I'll click here and it's going to give me Insert Page Number, I can click there, and choose one of these options. Let's do it in the Header right in the center. You can do it in either the Header or the Footer for the page. Let's go back to the top and add page numbering. So as you can see I've got a bunch of pages here. I'm going to create a blank document and I'm going to paste in some text here to fill out the document. Let's start by looking at Word Processing.
