Willi, I tried that and it did do what I wanted. My book has frontmatter and bodymatter. The page numbering will start at 1 on the title page, displayed in roman numerals. And then when the bodymatter is entered, the numbering should get reset to 1. However, when I did a "way=bytext", I could not reset the numbering to 1 when I was in the bodymatter section. Any more hints? Just for clarity sake, here's some sample code of what I'm trying to do: \enablemode[doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[ location={footer,middle}, alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, style=\em\tfx, way=bytext] \starttext \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=none] Half-Title Here \stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] Title Here \stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup[page=no] Copyright here \stopstandardmakeup \chapter{Preface} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=] \setuppagenumbering[number=1] \part{Part One} \chapter{first} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{second} \dorecurse{10}{\input davis } \part{Part Two} \chapter{third} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } \chapter{fourth} \dorecurse{10}{\input bryson } \stopbodymatter \stoptext Bart On Tuesday February 12 2008, Willi Egger wrote:

Hi Bart,

\setuppagenumbering[way=bytext]

When I define a new part to my document (\part{Part One}), the page numbers always get reset to 0. How do I prevent this?
