Roman to Arabic Page Numbers

[Esoterixia]

I'm trying to create a document for school. The first page (cover) should
NOT have a page number at all, whereas the following pages (table of
contents, introduction, etc.) should use roman numerals like so: i, ii, iii,
iv.

After the above mentioned pages (the front matter basically), the remainder
of the document is supposed to use arabic page numbers like so: 1, 2, 3.
These pages should restart the count at 1; it is NOT to continue where the
roman numerals left off in counting pages!

Is it possible to format a document to use both of roman and arabic page
numbers with the aforementioned stipulations?

If it can be done automatically, please explain to me how it can be done (in
layman's terms).

If it can only be done manually, please explain this to me as well - because
when I tried to manually type in page numbers, the document would
automatically fill in the rest of the page numbers that followed.

You should separate the cover from the following pages by a Next Page
Section Break and the main body of the document from those pages by another
Next Page Section Break.

Then in the second and third Sections of the document, you can insert page
numbers where you want them to appear after unlinking the Footer in each of
those sections from the Footer in the previous Section.

Then you use the Format Page Number to set the type of numbers to be used in
each of the Second and Third Sections (roman or arabic) and also the set the
numbering to start at 1 in each of those Sections.
