Section One Starts at ii

[EDP333]

I am working on a Word doc with section 1 in Roman numbers and section 2 in
Arabic. Section 1 starts at ii. I have tried both MS Word 2000 and 2007. I
removed all page and section breaks and started over, plus copied the text to
a new doc with the same results. I have tried following the Windows help
proceduces and How to set up a document with front matter numbered
separately.The sections are unlinked and number format set to start at i.

Any suggestions or help?

Have you used Format Page Number to make sure that Section 1 starts at 1 (or
"Continue from previous section," which is the default)?

Yes, I have tried both format selections.

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, make sure that the "Section start" for
Section 1 is set to "New page" and not "Even page."

Thank you. That allowed the numbering to start correctly. So simple, yet so
hard.
