Inserting more than 1 set of pages numbers on one document
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 |

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. -- Hope this helps.

OT: Inserting more than 1 set of pages numbers on one document

I then have the appendices which again, need to be '1-whatever...' in Roman numerals. FWIW, I'd talk to whoever issued these requirements: while it is not unheard of, restarting the roman numerals in the appendix does add no value IMHO. On the contrary, it makes citation a lot harder (see page "ix" -- well, *which*?!). I can live with switching back to roman numerals but continuing from where you left of (it's possible but not very handy to do that in Word), or simply continuing with arabic numbers from the main text. 0.002ΒΆ Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm, but I
have to concur with Robert Franz that numbering the appendixes with roman numerals is unconventional. -- Suzanne S.

Inserting more than 1 set of pages numbers on one document
It's standard over here in the UK I'm afraid - can't really argue with my
department for the sake of an easier to use word doc! I might just stick the appendix in as a separate doc. Thanks for your help! "Suzanne S.

But should you decide to talk to anybody about the requirements, don't mention your application, but your readers and the citation ambiguities the requirements create ...
