Typing a dissertation

I am typing a dissertation and need to skip the first 6 pgs of the document. The 7th page is the Table of Contents which I need to number with a roman numeral, the next page is the List of Tables and the next page is the List of Figures. All those need Roman numerals 1, 2, and 3. Then the next page is the start of the paper which needs to start with page number 1. How do I do this? I've tried and it isn't working. Can someone please help me?
