PAGE NUMBERS
Why must numbering pages on your word processor be SO NEEDLESSLY HARD? I write. I like each chapter to be its own word doc. Having a document start on page 26 seems to be beyond my abilities when it comes to your product. I've read countless Help pages without success. How hard is it to:
1. Insert page number
2. Start on number : __
I'm no computer hacker, but it can't be impossible since literally every other word processing program since the dawn of time has been able to accomplish this.
I love your products, I do. This one thing confounds me. Having to transfer my manuscript from my personal to my work computer just to fix page numbers is soul-crushing. Help me. Please, fix this feature.
