Insert a page before the table of contents?

Farhad M

How do I insert a blank page before the table of contents in Word 2007? I
have a page or two of text (title page and executive summary) I'd like to
insert before the table of contents and not be included in it either. But
every time I try to insert the table of contents, it defaults to becoming the
first page no matter what. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Note that the table of contents will always be inserted at the insertion
point, so getting it in the desired place shouldn't be a problem. On the
other hand, if you are trying to control on which page the page numbering
starts, you need a section break; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontMatter.htm. For more on
TOCs, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.
