Note, however, that it is not necessary to insert section breaks to do this
unless you want a different First Page Header/Footer in each chapter. If you
just want the chapter title in the Header (or the Odd/Even Page Header), it
can be done with a StyleRef field; the chapter number in the page number
will similarly update without a section break.

Suzanne,

Thanks to your tutorial on Using Headers and Footers - What happens when
you
have more than one section, I am now able to have the chapter title in the
footer for each section. After entering the title for the first section, I
went to the second section, got to the footer and clicked the Same as
Previous button to turn off the link, and entered the second title, etc.

I did the same for the chapter number, inserting a €œ1 - €� just before the
page number for the first chapter, €œ2 - €� for the second chapter, and so
on.
This is my simple-minded way of achieving what I wanted rather than using
what was suggested in the Help menu under €œInsert the chapter number and
title in a header or footer,€� which to me was totally unintelligible. It
seemed to be written for book publishers.

Anyway, thanks so much for sticking with me and linking me to your Word
tutorial site.

Thanks, Suzanne.

OK. I will give up typing in the chapter title for now and just settle
for
the chapter number, as I do not know what a StyleRef field is.

I have the document in sections and the pages are numbered just fine
within
each section. Each section starts off automatically with 1 for the first
page
in the section. But then here is what happens.

I put the cursor in the middle of the first page of the first section. I
click InsertPage NumbersFormat and get a Page Number Format menu. I
check
Include chapter number. Within this menu, the Number format is 1,2,3,€¦
The
Chapter starts with style Heading 1. The Use separator is a hyphen. The
Page
numbering is Start at 1. I click OK. What I get in the first section is
2-1,
2-2, 2-3, etc. There are no chapter numbers in the subsequent sections.

I repeat the same process for the next two sections, and the result I
get is
that they are both still chapter 2.

So why does it not number the chapter numbers 1,2,3, €¦ instead of
2,2,2,€¦? A
couple of days ago it was 9,9,9,€¦ How do I get it to recognize which
chapter
is which?

Use the "Include chapter number" feature to add the chapter number and
a
StyleRef field to insert the chapter title (but note that the latter
won't
be part of the page number in the TOC).

Thanks again, Jay. This is not working. I tried it and all I got was
that
the
entire document had a "9" for the chapter. Also I could not find
where to
key
in any words I want to appear in the footer in each section. I am
writing
a
manual for dancing, and each chapter has a different dance aspect. I
have
already separated each aspect into sections, so each one page
numbers
separately. But I want the chapter name and number to appear in the
footer
along with the page number. The first chapter is about the Whip, so
in the
footer I want Whip 1-1, Whip 1-2, Whip 1-3, etc. the second chapter
is
about
the Tuck, so in the footer there I want Tuck 2-1, Tuck 2-2, Tuck
2-3, etc.
The third chapter is about Style, so want Style 3-1, Style 3-2,
Style 3-3,
etc. And so on. I add to each chapter sepatately from time to time,
and I
want the footers to have the appropriate name, chapter number, and
page
number.

Right now, my only option is to create separate Word documents,
rather
than
one document with sections, which I would rather not do.

The Microsoft Help menu and the reference you gave me do not help. I
am
not
a techie or a Word guru, so I need straight-forward directions. I am
using
Word 2003.

Thanks, Jay. Your link still didn't help. Using the directions
there,
for
each chapter, including the first, I get a "2" for the chapter
number.
Never
could get them to number themselves, including starting with "1"
..
Also, I
am unable to find out how to insert text for a chapter title with
it. I
am
still lost.

Also, I don't have the sequence mentioned in the reference, of
FormatStyleModifyformatNumbering. All I have is FormatStyles
and
Formatting, and then you select one.

I still don't know what to do.

I am unable to follow the help menu directions. I have

the page
numbers are fine. What I want is Intro 1-1, Intro 1-2, Intro
1-3,..., Start
2-1, Start 2-2, etc. When I try to do just the chapter
numbers, I
get crazy
sequences within and between sections, such as 2-1, 4-2, 5-3,
all in
the same
section. I haven't been successful at any text. This whole
thing
ought to be
easy. Are there any simple directions? Thanks.

See if you can do better with the instructions in
