If http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm was not one
of the places you look, check it out. I suspect your problem is coming from
multiple sections on page. A secondary problem comes from inserting page
numbers through the menu command rather than in the header/footer.

I have a document with three different sections (a thesis
manuscript for a colleauge).

The first section has two pages, neither of which should
have pagination. The section section has three pages that
should be labeled from roman numeral ii (iii and iv). The
third section should begin with arabic number 1.

I am able to insert section breaks, and to insert headers
for the three sections. However, the first and third
section are linked somehow. No matter what I do, I can't
remove pagination from the first section. For example the
first and third section both have page 1 on them.

According to every Web site/troubleshooting site for MS
Word, this should not be happening due to directions I
followed. I even created a new document with placeholder
text. The same problem.

Can you advise? I am working on a deadline for Friday May
6th.

Kind regards,
Deborah Poe )
