Questions about Add Page Numbers

Can I start numbering at something other than 1?
Yes. Set the starting number — useful when a document is one part of a larger bundle, or when front matter should not be counted.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Leave the cover out of the page selection and set the starting number so the numbering still reads correctly.
What does the '1 / N' style show?
The current page and the total number of pages in the document, for example 4 / 12.
