Here are some steps to insert a cover page without it counting as a page in your document:

1. Set your margins. Adjust the margins on your document to begin your cover page where you would like it to start. Most document programs have default margin settings.


2. Ensure the cover page is not counted in page numbers. Depending on your document program, set the page numbering to begin with the second page so your cover page is not numbered.


3. Format your cover page. Use a large font size and center it on the page. For example, a cover page for a report may include a title, date and author information in the center of the page.
