How To Have 2 Sets of Page Numbers in Microsoft Word

This document provides instructions for setting up two different page number formats in Microsoft Word: 1. Insert a section break between the first page and remaining pages. 2. Format the page numbers for the first section as Roman numerals and the second section as Arabic numerals, starting each section at page number one. 3. This allows the table of contents to use lowercase Roman numerals while the main document uses regular page numbers.

How to have 2 sets of page numbers in microsoft word?

For my table of contents I want a lower case i as the page number but for the rest of the paper I just want regular numbers. Is there any way to do this? And when people say enter a page break all it does is insert a new page. Is that what its supposed to do? That should be a Section break, not a page break. Here are the details. In Word versions prior to Word 2007: 1. At the top of the first page you want Arabic-numbered, click the Insert->Break menu item. 2. Insert a Next Page type section break. 3. Click the Insert->Page Numbers menu item. 4. In the Page Numbers dialog box, click the Format button. 5. If you dont want the page numbers to be continuous between the two sections, set Page Numbering to start at number one. The radio button should switch to Start At. 6. Click OK. 7. Click OK again. 8. Go back to the first page of the document (now in the first section). 9. Repeat steps 3-4, but this time set the Number format to Roman Numerals. 10. Repeat steps 5-7. (Note: The actual insertion of page numbers in the page header or footer doesn't have to happen. Only the formatting selection is necessary. To avoid the insertion, click the Cancel button instead of the OK in Step 7)) In Word Vista: 1. At the top of the first page you want Arabic-numbered, click the Page Layout->Page Setup>Breaks icon. 2. Insert a Next Page type section break. 3. Click the Insert->Page Numbers->Format Page Numbers menu item. 4. In the Page Numbers dialog box, click the Format button. 5. If you dont want the page numbers to be continuous between the two sections, set Page Numbering to start at number one. The radio button should switch to Start At. 6. Click OK. 7. Go back to the first page of the document (now in the first section). 8. Repeat steps 3-4, but this time set the Number format to Roman Numerals. 9. Repeat steps 5-6. (Note: The actual insertion of page numbers in the page header or footer doesn't have to happen. Only the formatting selection is necessary. To avoid the insertion, click the Cancel button instead of the OK in Step 6)) That should do it.
