Thanks for the quick reply. I have now sorted out the numbering
scheme. I have the chapters starting with arabic numerals and the
pages before that in roman numerals.
However, i want the first roman number to be "iii"
I have inserted the following code in a ERT box:
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{3}
The ERT box comes juat after the title of my document and before the Abstract.
The
\setcounter{page}{3}
command does not seem to have any effect on the starting number. It
still nembers the first page of the Abstract with "i".
What am i doing wrong?
