I'm new at Ai so this may be basic. I can't figure out how to eliminate the page number from the first page. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello What about when creating a manual you want a cover sheet for introducing certain pieces of information?

I added a blank sheet in between two pages as a cover and removed the A- master from it and selected None, but now my next page number is incorrect?

Changing some of the pages to the None master does not alter the numbering of subsequent pages.

Use Numbering and Section Options to change the numbering scheme of the first few pages, then res-set it for the rest.

As an aside, it's best when you have a new question to start a new thread. This one was marked as Answered, so fewer people are going to open it up to look at new posts in it.

Oh okay thanks SJRiegel, I interpret the photo to mean you have several different master pages to solve this problem and create a new section each time a cover page is needed...?

Thank you so much for the help! The CNTR+SHIFT and then DELETE on your normal pages works wonderfully. Even on the new CC version. Happy designing!

Hi,

A cool tip I often use to avoid multiple master pages: Para rules!

I don't know how @Obi-wan didn't get a "heck yeah!" on his solution before now, but it's pretty clever. Thank you!

Normally I would have a different master page for the first page, then have no page number on that master page.

Apply this master to the first page.

Or you can manually override the frame by holding CTRL SHIFT and clicking on the frame, then delete it.

Ai? Adobe Illustrator? May be you mean InDesign?

If your page numbers come from master page, just open Pages panel. You see your thumbnails of master pages on the top of that panel. Drag thumb called None and drop it onto thumbnail of page 1 in same panel.
