Page numbers with different styles and different counts

[Master0010]

I am trying to write a document wifth 3 parts: Cover / abstract, toc and two more pages / and the chapters (the rest)

My problem is I want to have no numering on the cover, the second part must be numbered in roman starting in 1 and the third part normal numbers.

I have never been able to do this on LibreOffice

How do I begin page numbers on page 2 in Writer

This ought to be relatively straightforward, but it is not. I am having a great deal of trouble with simply starting page numbers on page 2 of a writer document with “2”. I want to insert page numbers in a footer. I want the numbering to start on page 2, not page 1. I can not find a solution to this. Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

Search in this site for page styles, or take a look to the documentation:

Thanks for detail.

I provide explicit step-by-step instructions on how to do this in my answer here. One difference is that my instructions set the page numbering of the forepapers to start at 2 (rather than 1) which is the same as the linked thread.
