Hi all, New to this forum... here in desperation. I've created a multi section doc. Different sections use different page number formats (the cover uses none, the intro uses roman numberals, the body uses arabic numerals). At the end, I've inserted an INDEX field. It will only show page numbers as Roman Numerals. Also, if I set any sections footer page number format to "USE DEFAULT NUMBERING" it too switches to roman numerals. Where do I change this default numbering system? Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Hi matman,

It sounds like you need to format the page #s by selecting one of the page #s, then choosing 'Format Page Number' via the small down arrow on the Page # box.

I've done that already, in every section. The INDEX field seems to ignore this.

However, I figured it out. Although my page numbers are on the bottom of the page, I need to select the HEADER and then insert and format a page number. I can then remove this, but doing so seems to be what controls the index format. -m@

Hi matman,

Strange, to say the least. Did you at some stage have roman-numeral page numbering in the header?
