Daiya,
Exactly what I needed. Many thanks.

You need to unlink the sections. There's an icon on the header/footer
toolbar for Link to Previous or Save as Previous. With the cursor in
Section 2, turn it off. That will separate Section 1. You don't need to
unlink sections 2 and 3 just to change the number format.

Hi,
In my document I want a cover page and a title page without a page numbers,
followed by a TOC with Roman numeral page numbers, followed by the main text
with Arabic numeral page numbers. I figure I need 3 sections.
I insert two section breaks. Since I¹m in section 3 at the moment, I view
headers and footers, insert a page number, select start at, and enter the
number 1. Section 3 looks good, but I notice that sections 1 and 2 now have
page numbers, which I didn¹t tell Word to put there, but they¹re there anyhow.
I go to section 2 and format the page number, selecting Roman numeral style
and start at page 1. Section 2 looks good, section 3 is still OK.
I go to section 1 and, since this is to include the cover page and title
page, I delete the page number. Section 1 now has no page numbers, but
neither do sections 2 and 3. If I put the page number back in section 1, they
reappear in sections 2 and 3.
I¹ve read http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm but
the instructions there seem to work only if I have just one page at the
beginning that I want to be un-numbered, not two or more (it makes use of
different first page.)
I¹ve got to be missing something obvious here, and I¹d appreciate having it
pointed out to me.
