Word Document page numbering (1 Viewer)

[Korn]

Ok i have to creat page #'s for a business report, so how do you enter page numbers that dont start from (actual) page 1 and for (actual page 2&3) have it in roman numerals (i, ii) then from that point on have the page numbers start from 1 onwards

On the pages you want to be different: Insert, Page Numbers, click "Format".

What im a bit confused. to make this process easier, because word varies from version to version im using Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.6502.6408) SP1.

Did you mean do this
View==> Header & Footer ==> ??

Im a tad lost how do i do this can you explain a bit more

Go to Insert\Page Numbers>Format
From there you can select roman numerals from "Number Format:" selection
At the bottom of that window where it says "Page numbering"
Select "Start At:" and where you want the real numbering start from.
simple.. well not really..
APPENDED: If you want to be more elegant, just play around with the settings from the "Page Numbers" window

Agreed. I think what I said would've done the job.
Just do the procedure at "Executive Summary" where u use roman numerals
and again at "Introduction" where u use numbers.

The attachment is how you want it to be.

How I did it is by going to Insert -> Page Numbers, Format, as already described. Whether you try it is up to you.

Do i need to sector the different parts of or something cause if I click "Continue from previous section it changes everything to the new style!
If I click Start at it starts at page one and changing the value only means that page 1 is now page 4, and following pages are consequetive

Insert a Next Page break (Insert -> Break, Next Page) between sections of no page numbers, roman numerals, and decimal numbers.

That creates a physical blank page, whereas i need this document to flow continously, would i be better using continous section break???

How do i get rid of the number on the title page

The breaks are meant to be inserted as you type (ie, the breaks should be at the bottom of your text at the end of each section). Hit Shift+Control+8 to see where the breaks are inserted, and delete any white space that causes too much space.

My previous example:

Any kind of break works, as long as its a Section break.

Look in Insert -> Page Number.

Look in Insert -> Page Number.

Yeah for the numeral page numbers (1,2,3,4....) it starts labeling as 2 dont know why I tell it to start labelling as number 1 but wont comply

Edit, okay problem solved thank you everyone that helped
