Default Agenda Page Numbering - Won't Work?

Yes, the 'pages' are scans in a graphic format and are not in editable text.
If they are high quality scans, the document imaging can be used to OCR the
images into editable text in Word. However, that may be far more work than
simply typing in the front page.

Yes you are right. The original gets scanned all together as one document
and then they open it in Microsoft Document Imaging. But even if I try to
save it back to word I can select certain text to apply the outline
styles -
I can only select pages. Forgive me as I am new at this and have just
started my job. One of my first assignments is to try and find a way to
add
the pages numbers automatically - I am still not 100% sure about how to do
this. I understand the concept of the outline and the toc but not how to
do
this with scanned document. I appreciate your assistance.

But it must have been in a Word format at sometime or another. It didn't
just appear on a piece of paper. Someone, somewhere must have the
original.

If you cannot find who prepares it to get doc format copy, then you are
down
to typing it all by hand.

I just realized this will not work. As the agenda pages are all
scanned
and
then cut and pasted into word, the only page that is actually typed is
the
agenda summary page which is first. So I can't select text from the
scanned
pages to apply the outline heading styles. Hmmm... other suggestions?

Thank you.

This is fantastic. Thank you very much. I will try this as I like
the
idea
that no one needs to know that is a TOC. I will report back with my
results.

I think you have the dog wagging the tail here. What you need to do
is
to
create your agenda using Outline Heading styles for each agenda
head.
Then
on page 1, the Agenda summary is is inserted as a Table of Contents
(TOC).
No one needs to know it is a TOC as you can format the TOC styles to
make it
look like an Agenda Summary.

Save this as a Template and then each week, update/add/remove items
and
to
update the Summary, just click the mouse in the TOC and press F9:
save
with
a new date of meeting.

It has the added benefit that you can click on an agenda item in the
summary
and it will jump you straight to that item.

Hello. Can anyone tell me if there is an easier way to do this
task.
I
put
the an agenda together with the first page being the agenda
summary.
On
this
summary, I list items and their page numbers. Is there anyone to
tag
something on say page 15 in the agenda so that on the agenda
summary
page,
page 15 can be added automatically?

Right now I create the agenda and the agenda summary. After
everything is
together I will look at the agenda summary and then look through
the
complete
agenda to find the appropriate page number.
Any suggestions?
