On Page 1, I won't have page number at all cos' it's document cover. the standard approach here is to start a new section on page 5. Page numbering is a section property in Word, and each section can have a different numbering format (roman/arabic), can start at any specific value or continue the sequence from the preceding section. Headers and footers are also a section property in Word. Setup your first section to start page numbering at 1, choose roman format, and then define "different first page" headers and footers. On the very first page, you can then choose not to display page numbers at all. The detailed steps to accomplish what you are asking are version-specific (Word 2007 is different than the 4 versions before it).

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 start at 0 in Section 1. On Jun 29, 10:49*am, "Robert M.

Problem is, this cannot be done with roman numerals in Word. 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. 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).

Yabbut ... no one would want to have an actual number zero in roman numerals (there's no such thing), but they might want to do exactly what Charles wants to do! |

The invention or discovery of zero was the concept that made arabic numerals
so vastly superior to roman and other numbering methods. No, of course there is no representation for zero in roman numerals, much less in the alphabet. -- Suzanne S.

But that doesn't mean there's no call for beginning pagination with
"zero" -- it seems they went out of their way to exclude that option from cases like this. On Jul 1, 9:43*am, "Suzanne S.

I think that, for once, I prefer the current solution to a PAGE field (or a TOC, for that) showing "NOT-A-NUMBER" or some such thing ... :-) In the past, I would have liked to be able to start a roman numbered page with zero, exactly for title pages. But since there isn't an obvious way to solve the zero-letter problem, I don't think we can blame the programmers (for once ;-)).
