I am having trouble in a couple areas and need some assistance.

First, I have a ton of different sections so the headers of each of those sections need to be different. I figured out how to make them different by un-linking them but then my TOC does not count the pages correctly. So, this question is... Can my TOC basically ignore the different sections and keep counting without starting over at 1?

Second, I need my page numbers to start after the TOC. When I insert page numbers at the bottom of the page it adds the numbers but starts over at number 1 at the beginning of each section. What can I do to get the page numbers to start after the TOC and ignore the different sections so it keeps counting?

I am using Word 2007.

--If a visual is preferred I can email the word doc to someone or post it somewhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

This is a work in progress, i. e., it will change several times before a final version is attained. During that editing process, footnotes may be added and/or deleted. I know there is a way to "dynamically" link footnotes so that regardless of changes, the reference will always be correct.

For example, assume I am working on draft #1 of the document, and in footnote 135, I would like to say "See n 106 supra." However, in draft # 2, I have eliminated several footnotes both before and after footnote 106 and 135. How do I "link" the old footnote 135 (which may now be, sat footnote 132) to the old footnote 106 (which may now be footnote 89) in draft #2?

Thanks in advance.

I have taken a company questionnaire template with legacy drop down fields, added some options to those fields, and then resaved and restricted editing of the document.

Now, rather than displaying a down arrow on the drop-down field, Word displays a pop-up dialog box in editing mode that allows editing of the response options when you double click on the field.

I have tried turning off design mode in the developer tab, but this doesn't solve the problem - I can't get the drop-down fields to work as normal.

I'm using Word 2010 and saving in the 2003 .doc format. I have also tried this in Restrict Editing mode and with Restrict Editing mode off (no difference).

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Maria
