To start numbering pages in a footer with a # other than 1

The instructions in excel 2002 state the following:

To start numbering pages with a number other than 1, use &[Page]+ or &[Page]- followed by the number you want to add or subtract from the actual page number. For example, to print starting with number 3 on the first page, type &[Page]+2. To print page 4 with the number 3, type &[Page]-1.

However, when I type &[Page]+24 in the footer to start the page numbering at 25 the page numbering instead starts at 34 and each consecutive page is 44, 54, 64, etc., instead of 25, 26, 27, etc. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your assistance!

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
A pesar de que el archivo de ayuda indica que así debe de funcionar, al probarlo con versión 2003 no me da los resultados esperados sino que lo trata como si fuera texto. Tal vez sea una falla del programa en sí.

Para empezar la enumeración con otro número: en la primera etiqueta de PageSetup (la que se llama «Página»), hay una opción para «Número de la primera página», es nada más de suprimir la palabra «auto» que aparece allí y poner el número deseado.
