To Format the Page Number Style
You want roman page numbers running i, ii, iii, iv, and so on.
1 Double-click directly before the page number field. You see the Edit
Fields dialog.
2 Select a number format and click OK.

That's a bad practice: it only "dress" the page number, it does not change the
number format so, for example, the index will not show the right number format.
To change the page number format you need to act on the corresponding page
style.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I let others to write the correct phrase.
But it should be something in the lines of "to change the page numbering
format, modify the corresponding page style and in the 'Page' tab, under
'Layout settings' change 'Page numbers' according to your needs.</pre>
