Two numb formats 291283 not working

[Bob Farris]

Word xp
Trying to have two numbering schemes as described in How
to 291283 Method 1. However, the footer takes its
guidance from the header. If the header is Sheet 1 of 3
and the footer should be page 6, the footer will be page
2. I am entering the field code {={seq variable2 \c}+
{page}} correctly but it doesn't count the total number
of pages.
The first page of the document is not numbered.
The second and third are numbered i and ii.
The remainder should be numbered 1,2,3...

Hi Bob,

You should have a First Page header/footer in your document with no page
numbering. For the numbering on Pages 2 and 3, in the Header/Footer as the
case maybe, use the following field construction

{ IF { PAGE } < 4 { PAGE \* roman } { = { PAGE } - 3 }

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded

I am not really having a problem with any numbers until I
get to a section break with the two numbering schemes,
then when I restart the section page number in the
header, the overall page number in the footer becomes
dependant on the header and updates it by one number.

With the field construction I suggested, you would not need a section break.

If you are using section breaks, to get the number in the footer, you would
need to bookmark a { PAGE } field at the end of the previous section and use
a cross reference ({ REF } field ) to the text of that bookmark in a formula
field construction so that you could add it to the number displayed by the
{ PAGE } field in the following section.
