You don't seem to have used the solution that Fairbairns and Ratcliffe gave
for your original question on how to print the page number like -i-, -9-
etc. They pointed out that \thepage should be redefined. Further, if you
were using fancyhdr, you can do whatever you wanted by adding the m-dashes
(--) in the \fancyfoot commands above.

Each \pagenumbering sets \thepage to be in its default form, without those
m-dashes.

Aside: \pagenumbering resets the page counter to 1, so your explicit
setting them is superfluous.

With regards,
Manoj.

PS: Please trim the quoted lines in your messages. Since you mention that
you forgot to be more specific on your question out of ignorance, it is a
good idea to read the article, `How To Ask Questions The Smart Way' by Eric
Raymond, available at  http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.
