You'll need several section breaks, and it will be a real pain, but here's
how.
1. Pages 1-74: No change.
2. Insert a section break before page 75; on the Layout tab of Page Setup.
3. View | Header and Footer. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click the
Page Setup button and check "Different first page." You should now be in the
First Page Headerof the new section. Switch to the First Page Footer if
that's where the page numbering should be.
4. Unlink the First Page Header/Footer from any previous First Page
Header/Footer (by clicking the Same as Previous/Link to Previous button to
turn it off), then type 75 where you want the page number to be.
5. Click Show Next to go to the Header/Footer of the new section. Unlink it
from the previous section and type 75, followed by a period, then click the
Insert Page Number button. Click Format Page Number and set the numbering to
start from 0.
6. Insert another section break before page 76. Repeat steps 2-5 (using 76
instead of 75).
7. Insert another section break before page 77. Unlink the Header/Footer
(and First Page Header/Footer, if any) and set the numbering to start from
77.

In WP Office XP 2003, am trying to insert several sets of new,
supplemental
pages into an existing 100-page document originally done in Word97.
I want to number the new pages as, for example 75.1, 75.2 (leaving up to
page 75 as is), leave page 76 as is, add pages 76.1, 76.2, and then leave
the
remaining pages as is, starting with 77.
Have tried various ways to do this - unsuccessfully - after reviewing MVP
FAQ and some threads, a couple Word books, and other websites. I have
probably missed a tip/trick/secret-handshake/code, however, since its been
a
long time since I've had to do this, so the issue could be between the
chair
and the keyboard !
Tried sections, chapters, manual, etc. It seems no matter what I do, I
can't even use decimals or alphas following the page number 75.1 (or 75a)
and
the like, and it always renumbers and throws off the remaining pages.
Any advice is welcome - even add-ins if that will solve the problem.
Thanks very much !
