How to set footnotes to start at a number higher than 1

I need to have footnotes start at number 45. I have set my Document Settings Part (settings.xml) to include:

<w:footnotePr>
<w:numStart w:val="45"/>
<w:footnote w:id="-1"/>
<w:footnote w:id="0"/>
</w:footnotePr>

In my output document, all footnotes are there, but they still start at 1. Am I missing something?

Never mind, I found what I was missing. Also added the below to hte sectPr (at the end of document.xml) and it did the trick:

<w:sectPr w:rsidR="009175E0">
<w:footnotePr>
<w:numStart w:val="5"/>
</w:footnotePr>
</w:sectPr>
