1. Change the Starting Displayed Page Number if the printed schedule will be included in another document and needs a specific page number.

2. Change the Ending Displayed Page Number if the printed schedule will be included in another document and needs a certain max page number (like Page 31 of 2000)

3. Change the Page Number Prefix of the schedule as needed.  Any text string can be entered:  Example, entering A- will result in A-1, A-2, A-3 ....
