Dear Daiya,
I want a Table of Contents. The problem is that the print-file must look
thus:
1) Title Page
2) Dedication page
3) Table of Contents page
4) Preface page
5) Abbreviations page
6) Introduction (3 pages)
Then come chapter one - about 50 pages -, chapter two - about 300 pages,
chapter 3 - about 40 pages, 7 addenda, Scripture index, Bibliography.
Numeral pagination starts with number 6. The other pages (i.e. numbers
1-5
above) should have page numbered in Roman numerals. How?
Thank you,
qumranandy

Thanks, Daia,
Both tips did it: hitting the turn off updates before print and change
page
format in editing to A4.

Um, trying to manually reformat for a different page size is a fool's
game.
Any Word document should be set up so that if you change the paper
size,
Word will reflow all the text to fit the new paper size and it will
still
look fine. Use File | Page Setup to change the paper size so that it
is
consistent throughout the document. You might try this ON A COPY,
just in
case it does get screwy.

Unless you did something really crazy, I can't see how changing the
whole
thing to B2 (is that 8.5x11?) would cause a problem. Since A4 is
thinner
than B2, your images should all be fine, just maybe with a slightly
bigger
left/right margin--unless you have images that stretched from top to
bottom
of the page, and that seems unlikely.

Or, assuming your intro, etc, are all just pure text, just use File |
Page
Setup to change the paper size there. No reformatting necessary.
(by the
way, File | Page Setup is the "obvious solution" in my view, not
changing
the paper itself.)

Note--Word reflowing the text is not the same thing as the printer
scaling
the text down to fit. Lines will wrap differently, page breaks will
come at
different places, etc. But like I said, any Word document,
especially a
book, should be set up such that this doesn't matter.

Dear Daia,
Thanks very much. I'm not at my work table now, so I can't check
it. One
more problem is that I began working on the book in Europe, and the
main
file
is formatted for A4 paper, which is longer and thinner than B2
paper. When
I
went to print it out on B2 paper it's of course too long for the
page, and I
lose the page numbers at the bottom. The solution is obvious - use
A4
paper.
(I can't choose the printer option to downsize, because things I
have in the
text - images - must appear in real size - i.e. the size I scanned
them in.)
The problem is that the supplementary files - the introduction, etc.
are
formatted for B2 paper, so that when I go to print the whole thing
on A4
paper how do I reformat these smaller files so that they will be in
A4
format?

Tools | Options | Print--uncheck the "update fields" box. Updating

are causing both the restoration of "aa" and the re-creation of
"Error!

Impossible to tell from your message what is causing the "Error!
Bookmark
not defined" in the first place.

You might also look up "Lock fields" in Help--which should prevent
a field
from being updated until you unlock it.
