Using Office Small Business Edition 2003.

I have used MS Word from this suite to create a document along with a table
of contents. At the end of the TOC I inserted a page and section break.
Clicked on the insert dropdown menu and selected insert page numbers.

I want to use lower case letters, i.e. i, ii, iii, etc for the TOC pages. No
problem there it works as advertised. However, when I get to the first page
of the document I want to use the regular numbers i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc. When I
format this pages (after the page and section breaks) the whole document
gets renumbered with the regular numbers.

Yes I am out of the TOC when I try to insert the regular pages.

I know I am missing something very simple, but I can't seem to find the
mistake.

Thank you in advance for the help.
