Example: Restart page numbering: a preface
A standard preface has the following properties:
• Page numbers are displayed in Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv, …).
• After the preface, the document starts on a Default page.
• The page number resets to 1, and the number format becomes
Arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, …).
Resetting the page number requires page breaks.

2) Set its Next Style to Preface because a preface could span
multiple pages.
