Arabic page numbering after Roman

[Dominich]

I have tried everything I know to show page numbers. I want the first 7 pages to be numbered in small Roman Numerals (i,ii,iii, etc) and the rest of the pages to be numbered as 1,2,3 etc. I can either create a document using all Roman Numerals (i,ii,iii etc) or all numbers as 1,2,3 etc.

How do I create a document using both i, ii, iii and 1,2,3?

The numbering of the pages are related to the Header/Footer, and these features are related to the applied Page Style, therefore you need use different Page Styles in your document. Just
- create new ones (or use the predefined page Styles)
- adjust them (switch on the footer and/or the header in the style, put the page number Field into the Header/Footer and format it with a relevant Style, and finally
- apply the Page Style to the relevant part of the document by usage the menu item "Insert" - "Manual Break" - type: "Page Break" - with a new "Style".

Did you try reading the manual as it is fully covered there? Or the tutorials?

See Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages. Page numbering is covered in Chapter 4 - Formatting Pages.

When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.

1. Apply page numbering with the roman type starting from the first page.
