You should insert Next Page Section Breaks via the Breaks pulldown on Page
Setup chunk of the Page Layout tab.

Then with the selection in each Section access the Page Number Format dialog
via the Header and Footer chunk of the Insert tab and set the desired Number
format using the pull-down at the top of the dialog and click the Start at
radio button and ensure that the numeral 1 appears in the adjacent list.

Hello all,
I have my thesis which needs 3 sets of page numbers all starting from '1'
but in different formats:
I have 4 pages which are required to be numbered '1-4' in Roman numerals
(Pages 1-4), then the next lot of pages (page 5 onwards) needs to be pages
'1-49' in standard numerical notation. I then have the appendices which
again, need to be '1-whatever...' in Roman numerals.

Do i need to insert page breaks or something? This is currenlty ~53 page
document with no inserted page breaks or anything, just page after page of
text and graphs (Really thrilling stuff!!). I've played around with format
page numbers and tried inserting from page 5, but it keeps starting on
page 1
from page 1, and tried inserting in Roman numerals then chaging it when i
get
to page 5 to no avail....

Thanks for any help!
Charlotte
