Note that you must access the Page Number Format dialog box for each
(Word) section. You can use the Show Previous / Show Next buttons on
the Header and Footer toolbar to move between headers (footers). Pay
attention to the section number displayed when the header/footer area
is active, to make sure that you've looked at all sections.
Also note that a section has a page number format, even if it has no
visible page number. This format will be used in the TOC, if text
picked up by the TOC is found in that section.
Moreover, adding static text to the header, by typing it and/or
changing the page number format for the PAGE field (as described at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/PageNumbering.htm) will NOT affect
the appearance of the TOC.

This does not work. The table of contents remains with i,ii,iii
format after
changing it in the format page number box. I even tried taking the
main body
and copying it to a blank file and installing another table of
contents - the
result is the same.
This began with my trying to set up the pages before the main body
with i,
ii, iii numbering using separate sections. When I was unsuccessful
at that, I
gave up and decided not to even give page numbers for the early
pages (title
page, disclaimer, table of contents, etc.) still in a separate
section. I was
able to get the first page of the first document to be page one but
the table
of contents still starts with i rather than 1. I even put a footer
in the
table of contents with numbers - that works but the table of
contents is
still i, ii, iii.

I have a table of contents that is correct in every way but one.
The
numbering starts at my page one and is correct but the numbering
format is
different than my document. My document uses -1-, -2-, etc. but
the
table of
contents is using i,ii, iii. How is this controled
