Berk Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 So I want to put Roman numerals on the index of my thesis and I want the rest to be normal digits. I tried this shit https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-different-page-numbers-or-number-formats-to-different-sections-bb4da2bd-1597-4b0c-9e91-620615ed8c05?CorrelationId=af655448-b288-4eb6-a4e1-8ec3bdd4406d&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US but it's not helping me at all. So I guess I will enter the digits manually, but it seems the fucking program won't even allow me to do that, everything is linked Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 You've discovered the glitch in the matrix of MS Office. Don't explore further or you'll tear a hole in the fabric of spacetime. I've had issues with something similar. I lost friends, family & almost lost myself... or try this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-and-format-page-numbers-eac01196-cce7-4103-ab36-68b2ee6d3f45?CorrelationId=462240bf-cf91-4efb-a2fd-ac58cfdbf975&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US or this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 You need to use Section Breaks (under the Page Layout tab - use only "Next Page" breaks!), then un-"Link to Previous" the footers* of the body and index sections of your document. You can then right-click where your page number code is, select "Format Page Numbers...", and take it from there. HTH / Good luck! *edit - I assumed your page numbers are in the footer but headers work the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
