Referring to Help, Document (Fields)

If you want to change the actual page number and not the displayed number, do not use the Offset value. To change page numbers, read the Page Numbers guide.

See Page Numbers

Effectively, you need to Insert > More breaks > Manual break, in the dialogue choose a page style and tick the box, Change page number and set the starting page numebr if it is wanted to be 1
