Formatting Page Numbers

[Katherine C.]

I am formatting a manual that supposed to have page numbers starting 0.0,
0.1, ... then 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. with an accompanying TOC.

I am perfectly willing to put the page numbers in manually to make sure that
they are done accurately, but I cannot figure out how to turn off the
automatic page numbers or format them the way I need to. There must be
something I can do with section breaks, but the revision date is alternating
vertically on the side of the pages because it's a manual.

Thoughts on how I can make the page numbers work out?

What dictates the change from the 0. series of numbers to the 1. series?

If that occurs at a Section break in the document, you could use the
following field construction

{ = { SECTION } - 1 }.{ IF { SECTION } = 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } { PAGE } }

AND have the page numbering set to Restart at 1 in each Section
