Thanks Dekel,
The first way does not work, the second way works, but the problem is
that the first couple of pages (5 to be precise) are numbered using
roman numerals, the last one being v. Then, when Chapter 1 starts, the
numbering reverts to arabic, which is great, but it starts from 6, and I
want it to start from 1. How do I achieve this?
Thanks,
Vlad.
