Hi! Suppose I have the following section structure:
- each page is a separate section
- there are 3 sections (meaning, 3 pages)
where second has the following properties:
- Different first page: unchecked
- Different odd and even pages: unchecked
- Link to previous: unchecked
- other properties are unlisted as untouched
Then why when I try to add numbering to the second 2 I get 1 number at the bottom in section 1? Workaround found: checking Different first page for the section 1 but it’s unclear to me why I get page numbering for the section I didn’t request to. While what to do in case of several pages in the first sections which I need to be unnumbered?

Hello @EmilyGraceSeville7cf
Headers and footers must be configured accordingly, this is expected behavior. You may notice that the settings for each section are not mirrored to each other, i.e. setting up page numbering with “Start at” for section 2 won’t affect the section 3.
This is a common practice for document processing apps.

Okay, but then how to make the first multipage section not to have page numbers at all while the second one with page numbering kept? Because when I backspace any page number in the first section it get’s removed in the second one.
To set up headers and footers for each section separately, you need to break the link to them by unchecking Link to previous in header/footer settings for each section and setting up Start at with value of 1 to make each section start actually from 1 page.
NB: headers and footers are configured separately also, so unchecking Link to previous in a header won’t disable it in the footer and vice versa.
Here is small demo:
This allows you to have first section without page numbers, but the second and third, as an example, to start with the page 1 independently.
