Yes and no. Its a bigger effort to insert, but my experience is that
it requires less follow-up questions. Although section breaks do not
have to have any other influence, often people start complaining about
numbering over multiple sections (lists, captions, ...) going wrong.

This is less complicated than inserting a Section Break??

Although I can see the benifits of the tip, I find it rather complex
to achieve such a simple thing. The following combination of fields
should just as well achieve what is required:
{ IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = { PAGE } - 3 } }
If your page number is less than 5, don't display anything, otherwise,
display your page number minus 3 (so 5 becomes 2, 6 3, ...)
Do not enter the brackets yourself, enter them by using CTRL+F9:
1)Type CTRL+F9. (results in { })
2)Type IF between the brackets followed by CTRL+F9. (results in { IF
{ } })
3)Type PAGE between the inner brackets and " 5" right of the inner
brackets. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5})
4)Add the "". (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 ""})
5)Type CTRL+F9. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { } })
6)Type '='. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = } })
7)Type CTRL+F9. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = { } } })
8)Type PAGE between the last added brackets followed by - 3 after the
brackets. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = { PAGE } - 3 } })

Sorry, the instructions on that page are a bit of a confusing nightmare. I
don't want *any* numbers on the front matter, not Roman numerals.

that if you see a huge gap in the text in the first screen, there is more

I'd like to start numbering with page 2 on the actual page 5, no
numbers
before that. Is Word 2007 capable of this feat?
