The main reason for using PageMaker’s Book utility to combine separate sections of your eBook is that doing so enables you to create different numbering schemes for those parts. A typical example is the way printed books use Roman numerals for their front matter (copyright, title, acknowledgment, and table of contents pages) and Arabic numerals for the body. Some books will also use different number formats for their appendixes and index.
PageMaker allows you to renumber pages in a single publication but not change their format, which works well for many types of publications. As an eBook publisher, though, it’s nice to know you can add these little details to re-create the look and feel of printed books.
To apply a different number format to one of your eBook publications, follow these steps:
- Open the publication you want to reformat in PageMaker.
- Choose File➪Document Setup, and in the Document Setup dialog box, click the Numbers button. The Page Numbering dialog box opens.
- Click one of the five radio buttons to select a numbering format and then click OK.
- Click OK to close the Document Setup dialog box and view your newly formatted page numbers in the document.

Hello,
Numbering provides a method of locating elements of the manual without having to scan every page and heading. Try to avoid roman numerals because many people are not free with them. Thanks a lot.
