Heading numbering and section breaks

[uby]

Hello everyone,

I am formatting a document where the first two pages have section breaks in order to custom number the pages with roman numerals instead of regular numbers. These first two pages have Level 1 Headings for the titles, though I do not display the numbers.

As a result, on the first page with regular numbering, I am forced to begin my Level 2 Heading with 3.1 whereas I would like it to begin numbering at 1.1. When I try to use the "Set Numbering Value" option, it says that 1 and 2 are already on the list and I cannot custom start my numbering with those values.

In other words, here is the desired layout:
Page 1


My Title (Level 1 Heading)
- Section Break -
Page 2
My Title (Level 1 Heading)
- Section Break -
Page 3
My Title (Level 1 Heading)
1.1 My Title (Level 2 Heading)
but it instead shows
3.1 My Title (Level 2 Heading)

Does anyone have a trick to force the numbering to begin at 1.1 even after two section breaks and two prior Level 1 Headings?

Thanks!!
