pagination troubleshooting with multiple sections

I am also having a problem inserting section breaks and getting the
pagination to work correctly. There are three sections for my document--the
first should have no numbering on it, the second should be numbered (ii, iii,
iv), and the third should begin again with 1. I have followed the
instructions from the recommended web site
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm. However, for
some reason it seems to be linking my first and third sections (displaying
both with Arabic numbers), even though the first section should have no
numbers. And I haven't inserted anything into the Header and Footer in that
section. The numbers just appear there. However, if I delete the numbering


from the first section, it also deletes the numbering from the second section
as well. It seems to defy any explanation.

Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm about to just insert numbers into the
text itself to get around this problem.
