change from Arabic to Roman
Word 2007
I used "Insert page numbers" -- "Format page numbers differently in different sections of a document." My preliminary pages should be i-viii. The text uses Arabic numbers with first page of text unnumbered. Somehow, in all my fumbling I ended up with page "viii" being "8" and the first page of text numbered "1". When I try to delete or change the "8", it applies the command to all the preliminary pages. It won't let me delete the "1" ("Remove page number" command is not enabled). I thought maybe I could just solve the first problem by changing the page number from Arabic to Roman. However, if I delete or change the page number, the command applies to the entire preliminary pages section. What to do? Joyce |

change from Arabic to Roman
Unless it's radically changed in 2007. you'll have a Format Headers &
Footers toolbar (or ribbon??) when your H & F are active. There's a button on it labeled "Format Page Number," and in there you'll find a drop-down menu with more options for numbering your pages than you ever imagined. Number your front matter lower-case roman, and in the next section where your real pages start, be sure you've unchecked "continue numbering from previous section," be sure it says start at 1, and choose your arabic numbers from the drop-down.
