I have a title page with no footer.
I have a TOC page with a footer.
I have body pages with a footer.

I want the footer on the TOC page to display the page number in roman
numerals and the footer on the body pages to display numbers.
The problem is if I change the number format on one, it changes on the
other.

Hi jammer,

Unlink the footers before you apply the number formats.

It is not necessary to unlink footers to restart numbering or change the
number format (only to omit the number or change any other footer text), but
you do have to have section breaks so that the footers are actually
separate.

Thanks.
I added section breaks and unlinked the sections to get what I wanted.
