Format Footer page numbers
I have a document for which I need the first page to be blank, the TOC page
to have "i" as the page number in the footer, and the rest of the document to have regular numeral page numbers in the footer. I have managed to get the title page with no header or footer and the rest of the document with numerals, but the TOC page insists that it is number "ii", not "i". I have tried every type and combination of section and page breaks. I have tried insert/page numbers/format/start from... but there is no number before "i" to start from. After four hours of working on this I have run out of ideas. Please help. Thanks, Carolyn |

Okay, I followed the directions, but the TOC still thinks that it is page ii.
I can hide the header and footer on the title page, but apparently the document still thinks the title page is page i.

Now, even though I have "different first page" clicked, every time I take the
header and footer off the title page, they disappear from the entire document. I have all the section breaks in place, as specified in the document you referenced. Why is it doing that?

Format Footer page numbers
Strictly speaking, the title page *is* page i, and if it's a recto page, you
may have difficulty making it anything else. If you were not using roman numerals, you could tell Word to start the numbering with 0, but that doesn't work for roman numerals, so you'll have to insert a section break between the title page and the TOC and start numbering at i with the TOC. I urge you to rethink this, though. -- Suzanne S.

Format Footer page numbers
Your First Page Header/Footer and Header/Footer are separate, but if you
have any section breaks in the document, the corresponding headers and footers in the various sections will be linked, and anything you do in one will affect the others. To make them different, you must unlink them by clicking the Same as Previous or Link to Previous button on the Header and Footer toolbar (to turn it off). See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for more. -- Suzanne S.

My bosses want the TOC page to be i. I have a section break between the
title page and the TOC and it is not having any effect on the TOC thinking it is page ii. What is a "recto page"? "Suzanne S.

Format Footer page numbers
In following your article about hwo to set up a document with front matter
numbered seperately I noticed that when I put in the section break, it said "section 4", rather than "Section 2", as the article says it should. Is that because I have some other section breaks hidden somewhere in my front pages? I tried to remove them all, but could there be some hiding from me? Is there a way to take a document and just clear out all the formatting and all the page and section breaks? I want to make sure I find them all. "Suzanne S.

If your second page is Section 4, then you have three section breaks on the
first page. Unless you are changing the number of columns somewhere on the page, this is excessive. Switch to Normal view, which will allow you to see and delete the excess section breaks. -- Suzanne S.

A recto page is a right-hand, odd-numbered page.
