Header/footer/page number problem

Hello!

Could someone please help me to add headers and page numbers to every page,
but the first three pages of a booklet. Page 1 and the header should actually
start on Page 4.

I'm creating a business directory in booklet format, selected under Layout
View, in Publisher 2003. I added page numbers, starting with Page 1 on the
third page of the booklet. I inserted a section then entered the page
numbers. Everything looks fine -- until I decided to add headers.

When I decided to add headers I can only get them to show on every other
page, despite trying the two page option on the Master Page procedure. When I
try to select single page/two page, as per the instructions, I get a message
stating that my document is going to be changed to a single page document.

Also, when I try to follow these instructions: "In the Edit Master Pages
task pane, click the arrow next to the single master page where you want to
create facing headers and footers, and then click Edit," I'm at a loss. There
is no arrow and no edit, unless they mean "edit" on the toolbar at the top of
the page.

After following all of Publisher's instructions, I find that the page
numbering stays the same, but I get headers on every page, even on those I
want to be blank.

Any help will be appreciated.

Publisher doesn't support headers in the same way as Word. All headers are on
the Master page, if you put anything on the Master page it will be on all pages.

You can have any number of Master pages and assign them to any publication page.

The best explanation on how to use Master pages is here:

Thank you. :) I'll see if I can tweak a page or two to get what I want. By
the way, I still cannot find Edit off of the Master Pages pane or the arrow.
Do you have a link showing where those items can be found and what they look
like? I'm stymied.

I have no arrow, maybe it is the chevron. The edit is in the drop down on the
Master page task bar next to Master A... In the Master page you can edit the
margins manually.
