As you have described you require section breaks to enable the Headers and
Footers to do what you require.
The Header page numbering in section 2 and beyond must remain setup as
"continue from previous section".
For the Footer, you need to (before changing the text) click the Same as
Previous (or Link to Previous) button on the Header and Footer toolbar for
each section change. This will disconnect each footer for from the previous
and now changes can be made in each for the required numbering. This step is
not needed in the Headers as these are not being separated.
Now the numbering can be setup with Restart numbering and format as required.
For a very good and simple guide on how to acheive what you want, and more
tips, see Ms Barnhill's webpage:

as well as:

on how to set up a document with front matter numbered separately.
Hope this helps

I'm using Word 2003 on a large document with a Header that must contain Page
x of xx consecutively on each page.
Footers, on the other hand are the problem. The first section uses Roman
numerals for pagination (i, ii, iii, etc.). The next portion uses arabic
numerals [numbers] (1, 2, 3, etc.) and the final section contains the
Appendices which must be shown as A-1, B-5, C-11, etc.
I cannot figure out how to "mix modes" on the pagination without losing the
consecutive pagination in the header. Even with individual section breaks
and customization therein, I still cannot show a Roman number page number in
a footer and still maintain pagination. Any thoughts would be GREATLY
appreciated. Due to time urgency of this request, recommendations are
requested to come to my home email (too) which is . In
advance, THANKS!! Jeff
