Description
w:pgNumType controls the page numbering style and starting value for a section. It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.6.12.
This element specifies how page numbers are formatted (e.g. Arabic numerals, Roman numerals) and optionally at which number the section begins. Without w:pgNumType, the section continues the page count from the previous section.
