How do I start numbering of front matter at page xvii?
Hello all,
I'm putting together a book manuscript on Word (2003) (XP Home), and would like page numbering to begin on the 17th page, after the title page, acknowledgements, table of contents, etc. I'd like the page numbers to begin appearing on the first page of the preface, as is done in many classic books. Again, in my case, that would be page xvii (17). I'm pretty new at doing anything other than typing in Word, but here's what I've tried so far: I've created a section break on page 16, thus a new section (section 2)for the preface beginning on page 17. I then click INSERT, goto PAGE NUMBERS, then FORMAT, and entered START AT XVII. When I do that, the page number xvii DOES appear on page 17. The problem is that numbers 1 through 16 (in Roman numerals) also appear on the previous 16 pages (in the previous section--section 1). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Michael |

In section 2, using the header/footer toolbar, de-activate the "link to
previous/same as previous" icon. This icon links the sections and makes the same thing show up in them all.

How do I start numbering of front matter at page xvii?
Daiya,
Thanks so much for your kind and helpful reply. It worked! ....But... I have a follow-up question. I changed the location of page numbering from header to footer (and perhaps did some other unpardonable sin) and now both section 1 and section 2 begin with page 17. (And I want section 1 to remain without page numbering.) And when I go into section 1 and double click on a page number (in the footer) and delete it, that also deletes the page numbering in section 2. Please enlighten me.

How do I start numbering of front matter at page xvii?
A footer must be unlinked from its "neighbor" in the preceding
section, just like headers. (Note also that if you enabled "Different odd and even" and "Different first page" in File | Page Setup, you have three different headers and footers, each of which must be separately unlinked. For more on headers and footers, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm.) After unlinking, you can delete the page number(s) that you don't want. Then click the Format Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to display the Page Number Format box, where you can choose a numbering format and set a desired starting value for page numbering in the current section. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "OklahomaWriter" wrote in message ...

How do I start numbering of front matter at page xvii?
To add to what Stefan has said, it's best in any document beyond the
simplest single-section paper to use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar rather than the Insert | Page Numbers feature. The latter inserts the page number in a frame, which can cause problems down the line (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...yIndented.htm), and although it's possible to work with these page numbers the same way you do simple ones, it's a bit more complicated. And, although Word formats the frame to avoid any header/footer text and vice versa, this can cause problems in itself, so you should definitely avoid framed page numbers in a header or footer that contains other text. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, Stefan, and Daiya:
I want to thank you all for your patience and generosity of spirit in answering my questions, and those of others. Perhaps it's difficult for you to imagine how lost and frustrated some of us with non-technical minds can feel when stymied by such issues. On a pragmatic note, Stefan: Your suggestion about checking that I'd unlinked the footer from previous section--that worked. And Suzanne: I followed your advice and inserted the page numbering from the header/footer toolbar. Thanks again, Michael "Suzanne S.
