7) Notice that the document is in a protected section. That means
you cannot change any of the contents of this subdocument from
within the master document. If you remove the section, the
contents become part of the master document itself; they are no
longer in a subdocument. If you make changes in either the
master document or the subdocument, those changes are not
made in the other document. For more about sections, refer to the
online help or to Chapter 4 (Formatting Pages).

Click on this blank paragraph and insert a page break, specifying
the First Page style and the page number to start at 1. Click OK.
