Numbering sections and pages
One question I am frequently asked regarding sections and page breaks is "What is the difference between a page break and a next page section break?":
Figure 7.11 – Page break versus next page section break
The simple answer I gave you earlier is that the first one is merely a page break and the latter allows for more complex formatting. This will become even clearer now when we begin working with numbering sections and pages.
In Figure 7.12, I have pictured a table of contents for a 121-page document. I have the formatting marks shown so you can see where all breaks and paragraph marks appear as well:

As you can see on the right of the table of contents, the page numbers for the preface and the appendix are styled the same as the rest of the chapters. Let's say we want them to appear differently. Perhaps as Roman numerals, for example...
