Default Page Number Setting

Actually since you want the first numbered page -- which is actually
the second page -- to be i, you;ll need to set the page numbers to
start at 0 in Section 1.

I want to add paper number (p.1) starting from the actual page 5. From
Page 2-4, I will use Roman numeric (i, ii, iii). On Page 1, I won't
have page number at all cos' it's document cover.


the standard approach here is to start a new section on page 5. Page
numbering is a section property in Word, and each section can have a
different numbering format (roman/arabic), can start at any specific
value or continue the sequence from the preceding section.

Headers and footers are also a section property in Word. Setup your
first section to start page numbering at 1, choose roman format, and
then define "different first page" headers and footers. On the very
first page, you can then choose not to display page numbers at all.

The detailed steps to accomplish what you are asking are
version-specific (Word 2007 is different than the 4 versions before it).
