The \setpagenumber markup resets the page number of a paper.  The first page
of a document,  commonly referred to  as the title page,  is treated as page
number "1".  You can begin  the document with a page number other than 1, or
renumber sections of the document.
    The \setpagenumber  markup can be  specified anywhere  in your document.
It changes the number of the  current page.  This can be particularly useful
if you are printing your document one part or chapter at a time.
    To  get pages  in lower  case roman  numerals, for  lead pages,  enter a
negative number, for instance \setpagenumber{-1}.
