Page numbers for my table of contents
I would like to have my first page without page number, then the table of contents numbered i, ii, iii..., and finally start from 1 at the first page of content. But it seems impossible to avoid that the page numbers for the table of content starts at ii instead of i. Behind the table of content, I get ordinary numbers to start with 1 by telling Word that they should start with 0. Can anyone help?

Start here, because your question doesn't totally make sense to me, but this
is a very nice explanation of what's going on: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm On 5/26/05 11:54 PM, "Knut Olsen-Solberg" wrote: I would like to have my first page without page number, then the table of contents numbered i, ii, iii..., and finally start from 1 at the first page of content.

Use the following field construction
{ IF { page } 1 { = { page } - 1 \* roman } } to get the page numbering starting with i on the second page of the document -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Knut Olsen-Solberg" wrote in message ...

Are the problems you are having to do with mismatching even/odd page
numbering to left/right hand pages? If you have different odd and even or mirror margins, Word will not allow your second page to start at 1, because that would put odd numbers on "verso" (left hand) pages - that breaks with book publishing conventions. If you are not (eventually) printing duplex, use the same page layout for odd and even. If you are printing duplex, then put a blank backing page after your first (title?) page. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Knut Olsen-Solberg" wrote in message ...

You are touching the kernel of the problem. Word is behaving strange when I switch between even and odd page numbering. Hard page brakes and division shifts (I don't know what these are called i English) are put in without any warning. And I am having a hard battle to get things right. I hav finally made it, but I am very anxious to proceed with this document. I fear it will be messed up again as soon as I make some larger changes in the document, making it urgent to always check the page numbers before any printing of pages/chapters.
Thanks anyway Knut Margaret Aldis wrote: Are the problems you are having to do with mismatching even/odd page numbering to left/right hand pages?

Hard page breaks are usually not a good idea to use in the first place (too often you end up with the formatting of the following paragraph at the end of the page containing the page break). Your "division shifts" are probably section breaks in Word lingua. You might want to take a look into the following article: Working with Sections (by Dave Rado) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...thSections.htm Greetinx Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
