Page Numbering
In Word 2002, I want to number my front matter with i, ii, etc., and begin
numbering on the back side of the cover - the literal page 2. Even when I go in on that page, format page numbering, and tell it to begin with "i" on that page, it keeps giving me "ii" instead. I have done this at other jobs before without a problem (I was using 2003 at the time, and before that, I think I did it in 97). -- Thanks! Mary Lee |

If you have either "Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" selected,
Word behaves as if the document is designed for duplex printing. That means it enforces the convention that "recto" (right-hand) pages must always have odd numbering, and "verso" pages even numbering. The Odd page/Even page Section breaks follow the same rules - Odd page forces the new section onto a recto page. Conversely, if you don't have these settings, page numbers can be changed freely, but odd/even is determined by the numeric page number. In this case, for instance, you'll find that an "Odd" section break before a restarted page numbering at 1 will always be satisfied and will never produce a blank sheet, however many pages in the section before it. So bottom line is that you can't break with the conventions unless you get rid of the odd/even differences in your page layout. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Mary Lee" wrote in message ...

Thanks, guys! I do have Different First Page and Diffferent Odd and Even.
Looks like I'm saved by not needing to have a page number on my copyright page, which is on the back side of my cover. -- Thanks!
