In your original post, you wrote that your document had 2 sections. The document you attached to your latest post has 7 different sections. It includes 6 Section Breaks:

1 Continuous Section Break
1 Even Page Section Break
4 Next Page Section Break

Are there any practical reasons for so many Section Breaks? For so many different Section Breaks?

Why not use the "Page Break Before" Paragraph attribute when you want a specific paragraph to appear on a new page? Most of the time Section Breaks are overkill.

What’s more, you have paragraphs with the "Page Break Before" attribute immediately following Next Page Section Breaks. This is redundant.

On page 1, you have a tab character in front of the Even Page Section Break. This tab character seems unnecessary.

As I understand things, you want Roman page numbering from start of the document to the end of the TOC. And you want Arabic numbering after the TOC, i.e. for the pages with main document contents.

I have created a modified version of your original document.

I have removed most of the Section Breaks, keeping only one Section Break between the TOC and the main document contents. The page numbering is Roman until the TOC ends. The page numbering is Arabic from the first actual page of the document to end of the document.

Is this what you wanted?
