Page Numbering in Footer

[JontyHS527]

I have a 17-page excel sheet which I've been asked to page number including a section number. As well, instead of starting at page 1, to start as page 3. Refer example below:

1.3 - 1.19

How can this be achieved, if at all, in Excel 2003? I know this would be a snap in Word, but have no idea how to do this in Excel.

Sub anothertry() 'This is the Best Way
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftFooter = "1. &P"
.Firstpagenumber = 1 + 2
End With
Worksheets("Sheet1").PrintPreview
End Sub
