    simple problem: I need the page numbers to start counting from page 2.

    Page 1, which is the cover, should be my page “0”; so the first actual page, which is in the second page of the document, gets the number “1”, the third document page, gets the “2”, and so on..

    Any ideas? Thanks soooo much.

    (No solution, but: )

    You do realize the obvious answer (use Document/Section Numbering) may be causing you grief because, uh, it's quite unusual what you are asking?

    A cover page is never called “page 0” — it's either page 1 (and so the inside cover page would be #2 and the first right hand text page is 3), or it's “page i”, making the inside cover “page ii”, and the first proper text page 1 again. (This latter scheme is to make sure the entire cover can be safely separated from the inner text pages; the inner last page of the cover is “page iii”, and the back of the book is “page iv”. The pages of the normal text can be numbered as usual.)
