Great to hear that you have got this sorted. There is stuff about it in the help, but it is a bit hard to find if you don't quite know what you are looking for. And it is complicated by having two different techniques to do all you want, ie - Using Styles to differentiate the cover page from other pages. - Changing the attributes of the first paragraph after a page break to restart numbering. If you want to find the help for this last item, first search for 'Page numbers' then choose 'inserting/defining/formatting'. On that help page is 'To Start With a Defined Page Number'. Tony
