Page numbering

[Pamlet]

I have XP. I am trying to format a document to do the following: on pages
1-3, no numbering. On pages 4-7, small roman numbering starting at i,
located at center bottom page. On pages 8+, arabic numbers in top right hand
(this will need to be consistent through a number of section breaks where I
have used landscape), once again starting with 1.

OK. So I put in { PAGE \* roman } in the footer (that worked just fine) and
then on page 4 put { IF { PAGE } > 3 "{ PAGE }" "{ = { PAGE } - 4 }" } but
it didn't display correctly. I tried various combinations of the first set
of codes but kept ending up with PAGE displayed where I wanted the number.

Similarly, for the main body of the document, which required top right-hand
arabic numbers, I tried to put { IF { PAGE } > 7 "{ PAGE }" "{ = { PAGE } - 7
}" } in the header and it displayed PAGE when I hit "update field".

I am also concerned about the Table of Contents -- once I get the numbers to
display correctly, will the TOC use the "real" numbers or the ones I want --
that is, the displayed numbers?

Many thanks.

If you have a TOC, then you can't use calculated page number fields
because the TOC will ignore the calculated page numbers, so delete the
page number fields you created in the header and footer.

Insert a next-page section break between pages 3 and 4 in lieu of a
manual page break. Insert a next-page section break between pages 7 and
8 in lieu of a manual page break. Now your document has three sections
(pages 1-3, 4-7, and 8+).

Click somewhere in section 2. Click on View | Header and Footer. On
the Header and Footer toolbar, turn off "same as previous" or "link to
previous" (depending on what version of Word) in the section 2 header,
arrow down to the section 2 footer and turn off... , arrow down to the
section 3 header and turn off... , and arrow down to the section 3
footer and turn off... . Arrow up to the section 2 footer, insert small
roman page numbers starting at i, arrow down to the section 3 header,
and insert arabic page numbers starting at 1. Click Close on the Header
and Footer toolbar.
