Actually since you want the first numbered page -- which is actually
the second page -- to be i, you;ll need to set the page numbers to

ahh, good catch. Problem is, this cannot be done with roman numerals in
Word.


Well, that's dumb! I just checked it out ... you also can't start
numbering using Arabic letters with 0. (I didn't bother trying the
Hebrew letters option.)

So, to fulfill the OP's specifications, one would either need to
separate the first page into its own section, or leave the page numbers
in arabic and force them to roman with a formatting switch added to the
PAGE field.


New section. (Or make the title page a separate document.)

The latter approach only makes sense if nothing in this roman section
has to be picked up in a TOC (because the TOC itself will show the
number in the same way that a "clean" PAGE field on the given page would)..
