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"?

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.

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.

I have a document for which I need the first page to be blank, the TOC

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.
