Hi Dornetta, In the past, we have been told to back number using Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 etc) when we have a case like yours where the actual text begins on a page other than 1. You can fill in using Roman numerals if you run out of Arabic numbers once you go back to 1.

Am I suppose to add them or not? AS I said previously, chapter 1 begins on page 9. "Just because you are blind does not mean you lack vision"-Stevie Wonder
