I'm not sure which tutorial you are reading, but yes: you need to 
modify the paragraph format of the first paragraph in your document. 
To do this:
o Either put the cursor into your first paragraph and go to Format | 
Paragraph... | Text Flow,
o Or right-click in the first paragraph and to follow Paragraph... | 
Text Flow from the context menu.

You get to the same dialogue either way. Then:
o Under Breaks, click Insert. (Type should read "Page" and Position "Before".)
o Tick "With Page Style".
o Select the appropriate page style (whatever you are already using) 
from the drop-down list.
o (Here's the important bit:) Set "Page number" to whatever you need 
- 21 in your case.

I trust this helps.
