special characters and numbering pages

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Dear All,

I am recent convert to Lyx (amazing program!); I have two questions:
1. Can I number a document starting at some arbitrary page number (say, 23)? 
How?

2. On the Reference Manual, 6.4.3., how can I insert any of the special
characters in a document --say, the copyright notice? (it says "without using
too many modifier keys", but I've been trying all I could think of without
luck).


Thank you,

Ramon
