What I want: A report with title page, roman numerals starting the
toc and arabic numerals starting with 1 where the body starts.
What I have tried: Editing footer adding fields. It seems that the
page number can only be in one mode. i.e. If I set to roman the
entire document changes.
What I think: I don't think it is possible unless I break the report
into separate documents. (please correct me if I have overlooked something
in the 'so called' User Reference manual.
What do you think?

Go to where you want the page numbering to change types (from roman to arabic). 2. Insert Break... Section[Next Page] (the command from the Insert Menu - select Section Break:Next Page from the dialog box) Repeat steps 1-2 for ALL the places you want to change numbering types 3. Go into the first section (toc in your case, I think) 4. Insert Page Numbers... (select whatever position you intend to use) 5. Edit Header/Footer... 6. Turn the "Different First Page" check box off, if it's on For the next part, I'm assuming the page numbers are in the header. If you put them in the footer, then just edit the footer instead. 7. Select Header from the list box and click on the Options>> button 8. Page numbers start at... requires an integer, so if you want to start at iii you 'd need to input 3, not iii. Also select the format you want your pages numbered with Then click on the Ok button Repeat steps 3-8 for all your sections, selecting the appropriate page number and style for each section. That should do it. (I just tried it out on a 20-page document I had lying around, using WFW version 1.1) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | The less things change, the | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | more they remain the same | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can break up your report into separate *sections*, and you can have as many sections in a document as you want. Make sure you have the full menus turned on (i.e. expert menus, or whatever it's called), and insert a break. It should ask you what kind of break, and one of the choices is new section. Make sure you specify you want a new page, too. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Time Traveler Your daddy works in porno Now that mommy's not around timur@seas.gwu.edu She used to love her heroin HE891C@GWUVM.GWU.EDU But now she's underground - Guns N' Roses
