Cannot change page numbering scheme- Word 2002.

[Tom Duprex]

I am using Word 2002. I have not been successful in changing the page-
numbering scheme in the same document. I want to have my Table of
Contents, Preface, Forward etc. numbered in lower case roman, and the
rest of the document in cardinal numbers. If I number the table of
contents with roman lowercase using either view headers/footers or use
Insert/Page numbers when I go to View/Headers the View Headers tool bar
has the "Same as previous" button grayed out. This stops me cold and
means I can't change my page-numbering scheme. I would appreciate your
help in making page numbering scheme work.

TIA

Insert a section break where you want the new page numbering scheme to
start. Now you can easily specify different page number formats for
these two sections, using the Format Page Number button on the
Header/Footer toolbar. If the only difference between the two sections
is the page number format, you don't need to unlink the headers
(and/or footers) of the second section. For details, see:

Hi, Tom. "Same as previous" is only available if there is more than one
Word section in the document. You create a new Word section by
inserting a section break (click on Insert | Break | choose continuous
or next page section break). Every time you want to change the page
numbering style (e.g., roman to cardinal) or page numbering sequence
(e.g., start at i or 1), you have to insert a next page section break.
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm for
more info.

In addition to what Stefan and garfield have said, note that it's
"Foreword," not "Forward."

Duly noted Suzanne, by the way that is a capital G on Garfield. Thanks
all for the response.
