Does anyone know how to have latex do roman numerals on only certain pages - I want the table of contents to have roman numerals and the rest of the document to have numbers. But when I try to change the Table of contents page it changes it for all the pages.

Thanks for any help you can give,

-Minda

Hello Minda,

Thank you for your question. It is possible to have LaTeX use roman numerals for only certain pages, such as the Table of Contents page. To do this, you can use the command \pagenumbering{roman} before the Table of Contents and then use \pagenumbering{arabic} after the Table of Contents to switch back to regular numbers. This will ensure that only the Table of Contents page has roman numerals while the rest of the document has regular numbers.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Best of luck with your document!

Sincerely,
