Title Page
First Setup the title page, choose a format that is applicable to your report.
Abstracts in the title page seldom ever mix with engineering reports.
Abstracts need to have their own separate heading
Select the Insert Tab

Section Breaks
When setting up a format for the first time it is often helpful to think ahead
In this exercise we will have 3 section breaks:
Title Page
Front Matter (meant for: Abstract, Table of Contents, Table of Figures, etc.)
Main Body
Move to the page 2 (the blank page), and select the first line with the cursor
In the Word Document Select Page Layout Tab

Scroll to Section 1, select the Page number with the cursor (Title Page), and
remove it with the delete key.
Any immediate previous sections that were not unlinked will have their page
numbers removed
Now you have 3 sections:
No Page Numbering in the Title Page
Non-numerical page numbering in the front matter
Numerical page numbering in the main body
