Default Format Footer page numbers

Your First Page Header/Footer and Header/Footer are separate, but if you
have any section breaks in the document, the corresponding headers and
footers in the various sections will be linked, and anything you do in one
will affect the others. To make them different, you must unlink them by
clicking the Same as Previous or Link to Previous button on the Header and
Footer toolbar (to turn it off). See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for more.

Now, even though I have "different first page" clicked, every time I take

the
header and footer off the title page, they disappear from the entire
document. I have all the section breaks in place, as specified in the
document you referenced. Why is it doing that?

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

page
to have "i" as the page number in the footer, and the rest of the

document to
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.

Thanks,
