Format Footer page numbers

I think that worked!

If your second page is Section 4, then you have three section breaks on the
first page. Unless you are changing the number of columns somewhere on the
page, this is excessive. Switch to Normal view, which will allow you to see
and delete the excess section breaks.

In following your article about hwo to set up a document with front matter
numbered seperately I noticed that when I put in the section break, it
said
"section 4", rather than "Section 2", as the article says it should. Is
that
because I have some other section breaks hidden somewhere in my front
pages?
I tried to remove them all, but could there be some hiding from me? Is
there
a way to take a document and just clear out all the formatting and all the
page and section breaks? I want to make sure I find them all.

Strictly speaking, the title page *is* page i, and if it's a recto page,
you
may have difficulty making it anything else. If you were not using roman
numerals, you could tell Word to start the numbering with 0, but that
doesn't work for roman numerals, so you'll have to insert a section
break
between the title page and the TOC and start numbering at i with the
TOC. I
urge you to rethink this, though.

Okay, I followed the directions, but the TOC still thinks that it is
page
ii.
I can hide the header and footer on the title page, but apparently
the
document still thinks the title page is page i.

I have a document for which I need the first page to be blank, the
TOC
page
to have "i" as the page number in the footer, and the rest of the
document to
have regular numeral page numbers in the footer. I have managed to
get
the
title page with no header or footer and the rest of the document
with
numerals, but the TOC page insists that it is number "ii", not "i".

I have tried every type and combination of section and page breaks.
I
have
tried insert/page numbers/format/start from... but there is no
number
before
"i" to start from.

After four hours of working on this I have run out of ideas.
Please
help.

Thanks,
