Hello..
I have a few questions regarding page number formatting. My boss has
written his rough draft of his dissertation and would like assistance with
formatting. What we would like to do is 1) insert 5 blank pages to the rough
draft he has already composed (this is to compensate for the TOC,
preface,etc. which he will compose later on) and number these pages with
roman numerals

2)Using standard numbers, we would like to number Chapter pages-bottom
center / following pages within a particular chapter - upper right hand corner

I am a novice when it comes to formatting something like this. Can someone
kindly offer their assistance?

Thank you for the link. It did help tremendously but for some reason, it
continues to change the format between the front matter and the main
document. Previously, I inserted page breaks to account for the front matter
that will be generated at a later time. If I understand correctly, I am to
remove the page breaks, which leaves the title page (section 1) and the main
document (section 2)
remaining. If this is correct, how can I make allowance for the future front
matter and upon doing that, how can I control the page editing between the
front matter and the main document.
I do not mean to be redundant, but I have followed the steps to the link you
sent and I just can't get the formats to remain

Number sequence and formatting is per section. In each section, you can
choose to start numbering at a specific point or continue it from the
previous section, and you can choose to use 1, 2, 3, or i, ii, iii
numbering. It is not necessary to unlink headers and footers to restart
numbering, but it is necessary to unlink them to change the number format.

From the Header/Footer toolbar, I do see 'Link to previous' icon but I am not
sure how to unlink..
