You need a page style for the roman numerals part and a page style for 
the arabic numerals part, and for the first page likely too. To switch 
to a new page style you have to insert a manual page break via 
Insert>Manual Break for example.
In the tab 'Page' of the page style properties dialog set the field 
'Format' in the section 'Layout settings' to the desired number format.

Kind regards
Regina
