Page numbering format in headers won't change
I've been trying to change the default Arabic page numbers in page headers to
lower case Roman numerals for the first part of my document (I'm using section breaks to separate the various parts). However, although I can access the dialog box, select Roman numerals, and press OK, the page numbering remains at 1,2,3 etc, instead of i,ii,iii etc. I assume this is a problem yet to be resolved, but if there's a workaround, I'd be happy to hear from someone.

Hi Gordon,
I haven't installed the beta myself, but maybe one of the other participants here who has can help you. Knowing which version of Word they're dealing with will help.

Gordon:
I had a problem with the Beta in that I couldn't install any page numbers in a header, despite my efforts to do so. At least you are able to get some numbers, it sounds like, even if the wrong ones. I wonder how you managed to get the numbers to work at all. JEEGG "macropod" wrote: Hi Gordon, I haven't installed the beta myself, but maybe one of the other participants here who has can help you.

Page numbering format in headers won't change
Hi JEEGG,
I didn't find any problems getting Word 2007 beta to display page numbers throughout my long document (except with the style of numbers at the beginning of the document). All I did was to select one of Word's built-in Header styles, and the page numbering facility was inserted automatically. I've had no problems numbering the main pages (in the headers) across chapters and section breaks, etc. I don't know what would happen if I tried to insert page numbering manually into the Headers. I haven't tried this, as the ready-made Header style with included numbering worked fine.

I know this is long ago, but to change the format of the page number, you
have to edit the header, click on the page number and a little box will appear with the page number symbol on it. Double click that box and you can change the format as well as restart the page numbers at 1.

Hi CJ,
Many thanks for your response. I'm not working on these documents at present, but as soon as I return to them I'll try your suggestion.
