newbie to numbering multiple sections

[Jim Y]

I have a new PC with XP home edition and MS Works Suite 2004 which includes Word (I assume Word 2004). This is my first
attempt to number multiple sections in a Word document. So far my attempts have met with failure because I do not know
what I am doing. I have read various posts but have not been able to find all of the controls mentioned. Attempting to
remove the exiting page numbers, the H&F tool bar has the Same as Previous not enabled. I can't remove the exiting
numbers. I need detailed guidance.

What I want to do:
I have three sections that I want to have the following numbered pages:
1) A cover - one sheet with no page number on either side
2) An introduction - two pages i and ii (odd numbered page is always the right hand page)
3) The main body - 15 pages 1 - 15

What I have now:
Right now the cover (item 1) is a separate document. I want to merge/insert it into the next pair of items.
Items 2 and 3 are in a second document with 17 numbered pages.

What I need help with is:
How do I merge the two documents so that the cover is the very first sheet? (Blank on the obverse)
How do I get rid of the numbers presently on Items 2 & 3?
How do get the cover to have no number, the intro to be pages i and ii, and the body to be numbered 1 through 15?

I haven't given a thought to a Table of Contents. That would be part of the intro numbering system I assume.

I appreciate all the help you can provide.

That is EXISTING not exiting in the above.
Sorry about the slip,

FWIW, there is no Word 2004; Word 2003 just came out. Works Suite 2004
contains Word 2002. For help with what you are trying to accomplish, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm. To remove the
existing page numbers (the ones you wish were exiting <g>), just select and
delete. If there's a chance they were inserted using the Insert | Page
Numbers command (which inserts them in a frame) rather than the Insert Page
Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UnaccountablyIndented.htm for
instructions on safe removal.
