I am trying to change my page numbering after removing several pages from my score. My score begins with 4 pages of program notes, etc. number i, ii, iii, iv. The first page of the actual music now begins at "0" but, of course, I want it to start at"1". The instructions tell me to choose Text; Edit Page Off-set. However, the "Edit Page Off-set" is not shaded so I cannot choose it. What must I do to make the Edit Page-offset available to me? Thank you!

Windows, vs. 25

Try selecting a page number, first.

In a worst case scenario, you can always use the Text tool and manually number the pages.
