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?

Regards,

Varun Reddy
