The new method of handling page numbering (roman and arabic) using e.g., \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals] \setcounter[userpage][5] works just fine if you remember one thing: in running heads the word "pagenumber" has to be replaced with "userpagenumber". But in the \chapter setup it is still "pagenumber" I spent the morning and a few extra minutes figuring those two things out. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
