Different page numbering
Hi All
I am writing a document where for the first 5 pages I need to use roman numerals, and then for the remainder use normal numbering (1,2,3 etc). However the first 4 pages will be counted but not numbered. The first numbered page will be 5 and it will be numbered 5 in roman numerals. The next page will start from 1 to the end. Please could someone show me how I could do this. Thanks Imran K |

You have to insert two section breaks so that your document has three
sections, and then specify different settings for page numbering for all of these. The article at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm can be used as a starting point. -- Stefan Blom "Imran K" Imran wrote: Hi All I am writing a document where for the first 5 pages I need to use roman numerals, and then for the remainder use normal numbering (1,2,3 etc).

Thanks Stefan
I've tried this, I managed to create two sections and number the second section using normal numbers. However I'm struggling a little with the first section i.e. I don't want it to number the first 4 pages but then number the 5th one with V, and then continue. Do you know how to do this?

Since page number format is a section property, you need a new section
for each new page number format. In this case, you need one section for your unnumbered pages, one for your Roman numerals, and one for the Arabic numbers in rest of the document. Once you have three sections, do the following: Go to the first section, and click Headers and Footers on the View menu. Word activates the header and footer areas and also displays the Header/Footer toolbar. By default, the insertion point will be in the header area. Click the Format Page Number button and make sure it is set to start numbering at 1. You don't have to change the format, since no numbers are supposed to show in this section. Click the Show Next button to go to the next section header. If you prefer to have your page numbers in the footer, click the Switch Between Header and Footer button to move the insertion point to the footer area. Click the Same as Previous/Link to Previous button to deselect it; this will allow you to insert contents in the second section header (footer) without changing the first section header (footer), which should be blank. Now click the Insert Page Number button. Use the Format Page Number button to set the format to Roman Numerals. Also make sure that "Continue from previous section" is selected. For the third section, click the Format Page Number button, change the number format to Arabic numbers and restart numbering to 1. You don't have to deactivate the Same as Previous (Link to Previous) button unless you want your Arabic numbers in a different position than that of your Roman numerals in section two. Finally, click Close on the toolbar to return to the main document area. -- Stefan Blom "Imran Khan" Imran wrote in message ...
