Attempting to set the footer page numbering using Roman numerals; starting
page count at vxiii. I receive an error message that says: "Start At must be
between 1 and 32767 for this format". As far as I recall, vxiii (18) falls
within this range.

How can I set my page numbering and not get this error message?


Enter the starting page number as the decimal value 18. Word can display roman
numerals, but it doesn't accept them as input.

Also, when you get the page number, it will be xviii and not vxiii.
