I have just thought about the change in appearance when you go to View,
H&Fs. You have probably got the HideWhiteSpace option toggle on. If you move
the mouse pointer so that it is midway between two pages, the pointer will
change to 2 opposing arrow. Double-click now and you will toggle the H&Fs
on/off. Normally you should leave them on.

How many pages are there? If there are 10 pages, then Word is displaying
the
correct result. If you want it to show only 8 pages, then edit the {PAGES}
field to { {PAGES } -2 }. Or if that is too difficult, delete the {PAGES}
field and enter 8 - but that won't dynamically update if you add/reduces
pages later.

Unlink the header/footer in section 2 from that in section 1, then
delete
the page numbers in section 1.

Hello All. I can't seem to get out of this, have followed
instructions in various posts - but stuck. I'm going off my b****y
head!


10 pages. I want no numbers on the first 2, then the rest numbered 1
to 8, in the format Page X of Y. I've split the doc into 2 sections
ok, and 1-8 are appearing on the last 8 pages but pages one and two
are numbered 1 and 2. How can I get rid of those two page numbers?


Thanks.- Hide quoted text -

Hello Suzanne


Thanks for that - I've done it and I'm almost there, but... I've now
got no numbers on the first two pages but the next 8, which I want to
show 1 of 8, 2 of 8 ... up to 8 of 8 are starting 2 of 10, 3 of 10 ...
up to 9 of 10 !!!- Hide quoted text -

Thanks, Terry.

I always have problems with numbering, headers, footers, etc. *For
example, when I go to View Header & Footer, that seems to change the
layout of the whole document - shifting things up or down, and then I
sometimes have to shift the the Footer up because, on printing, only
part or none of the page number shows on the print. *Any general
tips? *Would it make sense to set up sections, page numbering,
headers, footers, etc before starting to compile a document?- Hide quoted text -

Can't get those opposing arrows, tho... any other way i can try?
