If you chose 2. Different First Page

• On the left side of the screen, you will see 2 tabs, First Page and Other Pages
  • First Page:  No page number is used on this page so leave the top right column blank
  • Other Pages: Type in the number your instructor has told you to use.  Some instructors want this page numbered as the first page so you would type a 1 in the top right column, but others want this page numbered as the second page. You would then type the number 2.  When in doubt, ASK!!
