I appreciate the "short-cut" to get page numbers to begin on the
second page. However, there's still an issue with a table of
contents, because even with the -1 offset, the TOC is showing items
as being on the "physical" page number, rather than what's showing in
the header.
For example, if the first two pages consist of a table of contents, I
can create a style for those pages without page numbering. I can
set physical page three to begin another page style (eg, "Main
Style") and include page numbering with an offset of -2 so physical
page 3 displays "Page 1." However, the TOC still shows that the
material on "Main Style" begins on page 3, not page 1. Is there a
way to set a table of contents to "obey" the page numbering?
Yes. In this situation, the break between the front matter and the
main, page-numbered part with be at a defined point. Don't use the
Offset in the Edit Fields window. Instead, at the end of the front
matter, go to Insert | Manual Break..., select "Page break", select
the page style for the main part from the drop-down list under Style,
tick "Change page number", and set the first page number below to
"1". Update the table of contents.
I trust this helps.

Yes, Brian, that addresses the problem for me. Thanks, this has been
something that's frustrated me for a long time and it's really a simple
solution. Just have to remember to insert that manual break when
moving to the new style (page). I think this is also how M$ Word used
to work with "sections," but it's been a very long time since I've
actually used Word. Thanks again.
