If the page number you're inserting is an odd number (that is, if you have
numbering set to restart at 1 for a given section), then a Continuous break
might well become an Odd Page break. When you're using mirror margins and/or
"Different odd/even," Word assumes you will be duplexing and insists on
viewing an odd-numbered page as a recto page (which it should be). Beyond
that, I've lost track of the thread.

As to linking, each page at word.mvps.org has a link to the Terms of Use at
http://word.mvps.org/TermsofUse.htm. I believe simple linking is permitted
without any further formality, and an icon is provided if you want to use
it.

Quite an impressive tutorial, Suzanne! I learned something! (Not the
source
of my dilemma, though.) On my own books I can be flexible, but customers
are
sometimes very specific and I hate to admit there's something I can't do.
Fortunately, this problem was on one of my own books.

Just as you wrote, I use three sets of headers/footers - first page, odd,
and even. But when I went to my first First Page in the troublesome
document, as soon as I clicked Insert Page Number, that page transformed
from
a first page to an odd page, with odd page formatting in the header.

I'm sure there's just some incompatible weirdness I somehow placed into
the
document. I've learned that I can't insert bitmap images if I'm using
Acrobat 6 to create a PDF, and that I can't use godaddy email if my AVG
email
virus scan is on. I was hoping to discover what idiosyncratic oddity I'd
discovered in this document. I'll have to settle for the perverse
satisfaction of having stumped the best of the best!

I hope you don't mind if I post a link to your great tuorial on Lulu.com.

There's no reason you can't put the page numbers in the footer on every
page; in fact, I just finished a book with drop folios on every page and
distinct recto and verso running heads. For more technical documents and
reports, page numbers in the header are often preferred, though.
Actually,
if you put the page numbers in a frame or text box, you can put them
anywhere; some very attractive books have "running heads" running
vertically
(rotated 90 degrees) in the outside margins.

Wrt front matter, see

This might be my best option. Some clients want page numbers on the
bottom,
though. I guess in those cases I could create an entirely separate
document
for front matter and join the PDF files. Cheesy, but it works.

Thanks for all your help!

I usually make the first page of a chapter odd by default (using an
"Odd
page" section break), but if not, I center the page number in the
First
Page
Footer, then put the page number in the header for the remaining
pages,
left
(outside) on verso pages (Even Page Header) and right (outside) on
recto
pages (Odd Page Header).

Thanks, but y'see, using the header/footer bar, I can specify left
or
right
justification, but not outside. Outside is an option only when
using
the
Insert feature. I'm formatting books and the first page of a
chapter
could
be either odd or even numbered.

Unless you know where to find the "outside" option from the
header/footer
toolbar...

Using the header/footer toolbar is the recommended way to insert
page
numbers in Word (although InsertPage Numbers seems to easy!).

Since you have "Different odd and even" enabled, you can
position
the
page number differently on odd and even pages (corresponding to
the
"Outside" option in the Page Numbers dialog box).

news Yes, those were the first things I checked, too.

I got numbers to appear by deleting them all, then inserting
them
from the
header/footer toolbar instead of Insert, Page Number function,
but
I
had to
center them - no "outside" option.
