Hi @beau5CC8:

Just as a heads up, in publishing the norm is to use lowercase roman (i, ii, iii) for the front matter and then start over with arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) in the body of the book.

For example, the title page, copyright page, TOC and preface/forward/dedication are normally lowercase roman, and chapter 1 begins with 1 and then numbers continuously until the end.

See step 4 on this post: https://www.formaxprinting.com/blog/2018/05/book-printing-five-tips-for-adding-page-numbers-to-your-books-artwork-file#:~:text=When%20a%20book%20is%20opened,the%20appearance%20of%20the%20book.

Assuming I understand you correctly, click:

Format > Document > Numbering > Page
Type 4 in the First Page # field
Click Set
