QUESTION NO. 3: I have a document that has page numbers with chapter
headings. I've created my page numbers, but I have a page number on page 1
that should not be there. The document is numbered as follows: 1, i, ii, 1.
I would like to get rid of that first page #1. How do I go about that?

QUESTION NO. 4: With the page numbers, I would like to have them look like
this:
- 1 -, - i -, etc. How do I go about getting my page numbers to look like
that?

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated.

Go read your study notes.

Starting at the end:

4. Don't even think about using the Insert | Page Numbers feature; it puts
the { PAGE } field in a frame, and although you *can* edit the text in the
frame, it's fiddly. Instead, View | Header and Footer, switch to the footer
if desired, use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer
toolbar to insert the PAGE field, and then add any other text you want.

3. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm for
general principles. It looks like you've got it mostly right already. If
your numbering were correct, I'd say you need to unlink the header/footer of
Section 2 from Section 1 so that you can leave Section 1 blank, but in this
instance, your first page really needs to be 1 (i) but unnumbered. So you
should delete the section break between pages 1 and 2 (1 and i), then check
the box for "Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page Setup for
Section 1; you'll get a blank First Page Header/Footer, which you can leave
blank. Your second page will then be ii, as it should be.

2 and 1 I'm afraid I don't understand. Are you wanting to import the data
for the case style into your document from a database or document properties
and have everything go in the right place automatically? This could be done
with a UserForm that writes data to custom document properties, which would
then be inserted using DocProperty fields in your formatted document. FWIW,
I often set up headings such as those in (3) using a two-column table.
Unless your court stipulates the format, I don't think there's any
hard-and-fast rule that parentheses have to be used, and they're the very
devil to get right even with custom tabs; they're just a holdover from
typewriters (intended to represent a large curly bracket), and a center
border between table cells works just as well (or you could even use the
curly bracket [Right Brace] AutoShape).

Perhaps you're not yet ready to take the test.

The only other comment I will make is that nothing should ever look like the
required result in question 1 although I have no doubt that many documents
do and quite deliberately.
