Roman page numbers

Post by Basinator »

Another problem: I want to use roman page numbers for the last two pages and for the previous page no number.

Change your page styles to use a different style for each page where the numbering changes.

OK, I now have no page number for the third last page, but if I change the page numbers to roman in the last two pages it gets changes for all page numbers, also for those before.

Have you inserted a page break with a page style change?

NB: please don't post different questions in the same topic, it gets confusing. I've split your posts from previous question.

Read through this thread. Although it has a different title to what you are trying to achieve, it describes step by step how to have different page styles with different page numbering for each page style, and how to apply those styles to different parts of your document. Once you can do that you can create any numbering scheme you can think of. It also has an example document attached to it.
