Word 2007: Auto-numbering, how to set a start number other than 1

1.List style/ re-start auto-numbering strategy in Word 2007

I read with interest MVP Margaret Aldisarticle, Restarting List 
Auto-numbering Using a Higher Level Style, about setting up dummy paragraph 
styles that are linked to a list style. The dummy paragraph becomes the 
mechanism to force the following paragraph (linked to the next level of the 
list style) to safely, reliably re-start its auto-number to 1 (or A, i, a, 
etc.). The paragraph that follows the dummy paragraph would react to the 
estart list after level 1in the list style definition.

Has anyone tried this and found it yields stable, successful auto-numbering? 

I am faced with developing a template in Word 2007 that will be used across 
many company departments. What I develop will be used in documents that have 
many non-continuous lists. I thought the dummy paragraph would be the 
cleanest, most user-friendly way to manage these non-continuous lists.

In the past, these people used the re-start numbering from the paragraph 
group. Because documents are re-purposed, potential for broken numbering 
increases as more and more of this re-start numbering from the paragraph 
group method is used.

I want to develop the most trouble-free environment for the user to 
minimize wasted time and frustration with Word auto-numbering gone awry. If 
there is a smarter, simpler way for this to be done, I be keenly interested 
in learning about it. 

2.How do I get word 2007 to start numbering pages starting 3rd page

I write reports via word 2007. Each report has a cover page and table of 
contents; therefore, I need the page count to start from the 3rd page --I do 
not want the cover page nor the table of contents to include page numbers, 
The best I have done so far is getting the page count to start from the table 
of contents. What shall I do???

3.How do I get word 2007 to start numbering pages starting 3rd p

I tried this in Word 2008, and it is the same procedure except that you 
should choose Insert --> Break -->  "Section Break (Next Page)" and then you 
can choose a new set of page numbers for the following section.

4.Page Number gallery starts numbering with 0 need to start at 1

In the Header & Footer Ribbon, my Page Number always starts numbering my 
documents with 0 (or Page 0 of 4). How can I change this to start the page 
numbering of my documents with the number 1?

5.Word 2007 page 1 number relative to others

Hi: My anomaly is that in some of my docs (based on a customized template) 
the page # on page 1 (of a multi-page doc) will state say Page 1 of 3, when 
there are many more pages in the document. The numbering corrects itself on 
p.1 when the document is printed or when the footer is opened & closed. The 
numbering on p.1 uses the built in Word tool (via Insert > Header & Footer > 
Page Number > Current position etc.). Would appreciate some tips on what I 
can do to correct this.  Thanks. PLDV
