I have a 50 pages document. The first 10 pages I want to be numerated like: i, ii, iii, iv...... After The 11th page, I want the numerations to be normal and starting from 1 again: 1, 2, 3, 4.....
How can I do it?
While I was trying it, some how I manage to put something like a new section thing in a landscape shape page, so, after this page, the page counts start from 1 again. How can I erase this stupid section break.
Is there a way to erase all page, and header configurations before I start doing it again??

Word is trying to be inteligent once again and it is just blowing my whole thing.

Thanks

Try this:



In Word versions prior to Word 2007:



1. At the top of the first page you want Arabic-numbered (1,2,3), click the Insert->Break menu item.

2. Insert a Next Page type section break.

3. Click the Insert->Page Numbers menu item.

4. In the Page Numbers dialog box, click the Format button.

5. In the Page Number Format dialog box, select Arabic numbers in the number format list box.

6. If you don’t want the page numbers to be continuous between the two sections, set Page Numbering to start at number one. The radio button should switch to Start At.

7. Click OK.

8. Click OK again.

9. Go back to the first page of the document (now in the first section).

10. Repeat steps 3-5, but this time set the Number format to Roman Numerals.

11. Repeat steps 6-8. (Note: The actual insertion of page numbers in the page header or footer doesn't have to happen. Only the formatting selection is necessary. To avoid the insertion, click the Cancel button instead of the OK in Step 8))



In Word 2007:



1. At the top of the first page you want Arabic-numbered, click the Page Layout->Page Setup->Breaks icon.

2. Insert a Next Page type section break.

3. Click the Insert->Page Numbers->Format Page Numbers menu item.

4. In the Page Numbers dialog box, select Arabic numbers in the number format list box.

5. If you don’t want the page numbers to be continuous between the two sections, set Page Numbering to start at number one. The radio button should switch to Start At.

6. Click OK.

7. Go back to the first page of the document (now in the first section).

8. Repeat steps 3-4, but this time set the Number format to Roman Numerals.

9. Repeat steps 5-6. (Note: The actual insertion of page numbers in the page header or footer doesn't have to happen. Only the formatting selection is necessary. To avoid the insertion, click the Cancel button instead of the OK in Step 6))



That should do it.

This is a good source for learning the ins and outs of headers and footers. Using Word 2007, create headers and footers in a document that has several parts, such as a cover page and table of contents, followed by chapters.

where you need to start the different numbering you should on the last page of the one document insert a page break to start on the next page, then you must go up to the tool bar ribbon on the home tab and click the eraser icon which means clear all formatting. then you can insert header and insert page numbers. all formatting on the new document must be erased or you will be carrying the original sequence of the numbers. i hope this helps you. :)
