different page numbering

[georgetheoh]

Greetings,
I'm trying to add numbering on a document, but with 3 variations, pages 1
and 2 without number, pages 3-9 with roman numbering (i-viii) and then from
page 10 onward, the regular arabic numbering 1-...

How do I do it using the traditional {} formula?
eg: { IF { PAGE } < 4 "{ PAGE }" "{ = { PAGE } + 1 }" }

I know that other methods are easier, but using Office in another language,
I find it difficult to locate the"Next Page Section Break", thus breaking the
document into 3 sections

Hello George

I'm trying to add numbering on a document, but with 3 variations, pages 1
and 2 without number, pages 3-9 with roman numbering (i-viii) and then from
page 10 onward, the regular arabic numbering 1-...

How do I do it using the traditional {} formula?
eg: { IF { PAGE } < 4 "{ PAGE }" "{ = { PAGE } + 1 }" }

tricky at best to go that path: you'd have add formatting switches to
the page fields to force your formatting, but any reference to page
number (say, a cross-reference, or a page number in a table of contents
or index) will always show the page number as a "raw" PAGE field on this
page would.

I know that other methods are easier, but using Office in another language,
I find it difficult to locate the"Next Page Section Break", thus breaking the
document into 3 sections

I'm sure somebody in here can help if you don't get there by designation
(once you tell us your version of Word, you might make it even with an
English description ...).

HTH

{ IF { PAGE } > 2 { IF { PAGE } > 9 { = { PAGE } - 9 } { = { PAGE } - 1 \*
roman } } }

You must use Ctrl+F9 for each pair of field delimiters.
