Thanks, Suzanne, for the "Numbering Front Matter" FAQ page. However, in my
version of Word (Word 2002), there is no option for selecting any particular
kind of section break, from the Insert menu there is only "Insert Section
Break" with no choices other than that. If you select that, then Word insert
a section break, and I have no idea how it decides what kind to insert.

There is no manual page break. I put the cursor at the "T" in "Table of
Contents" (the first page of that I want numbered) and did Insert Insert
Section Break. At first, it shows as "Section Break (Next Page)" and then
when I move the cursor to the next page, it changes to "Section Break (Even
Page)".

I have a "First Page Footer -Section 1-" which is all blank, at the bottom
of the title page (selected "Different first page" in the setup). That part
is fine.

Then I have a "Footer -Section 2-" at the bottom of the first Table of
Contents page. For this, I have formatted the page numbering to be lowercase
Roman numerals, and selected "Start at i". However, the page number is "ii"
and WILL NOT CHANGE to "i", no matter what I do.

What is frustrating about this, is that I have another document in which
Word is doing just what I told it to do, and what I want it to do here -- no
page number on the title page, frontmatter (Table of Contents) has page
numbers starting at "i", and page numbers on the main part of the document
starting at "1". I just cannot figure out what is different between the two
documents that is causing Word to ignore the "Start at i" selection. I even
tried cutting and pasting from the other document, hoping the hidden code
would transfer, but that didn't work either.

Any other thoughts? What have I done wrong?

Thanks for your help.

I am using Word 2002 with Window Millennium Edition.
I've read the FAQ files on Page Numbering and Section Breaks, but still
need
help, please.
Within my document, there is a title page, a Table of Contents, and the
body
of the document. I have the page numbers as a footer, TOC in lowercase
Roman
numerals, body in Arabic numerals. I was successful in getting the page
numbers of the body text to start at 1, but cannot make the TOC page
numbers
start at i (page 1 in lowercase Roman numerals) - no matter what I try, it
starts at ii (because it is counting pages starting with the title page).
The FAQ files talk about inserting different kinds of Section Breaks, but
on
my Insert menu there is only "Section Break" with no choices as to what
kind
to insert. I did an InsertSection Break at the beginning of the TOC, and
it
came out to "Section Break Continuous". (Of note: when I did the same
thing
on a different document, it came out to "Next Page Section Break". I even
tried copying and pasting the 'hidden code' from that document where it
worked into the document where it doesn't, but that did not work either.)
I
have repeatedly checked the "Restart at i" box, but it stays at "ii"
instead.
I have a "Different first page" footer (no page numbers) on the title
page.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
