Often times I'll be using REALLY old books!
And, they'll have your requisite small roman numerals for the introductory pages, followed by a blank page or two and then even a strange unnumbered page until the pages begin with something like...3.

I can see there's a GUI logic to seeding all these using the page numbering tool. But, Lo! these many years...I've never been able to get the hang of it.
IF I get it set up...it seems more in spite of my own efforts and then...I'm too worried about falling into a time sink to try to address it again.
If there's any sort of video, or alternate to the standard documentation for how to add page numbereing...that would be a HUGE help to this old antiquarian.
Thanks!
