Restart page numbering in chapter
I have a document with several chapters, each seperated by section breaks.
The page numbering starts over in all chapters but one. the numbering is 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, etc. The chapter that won't restart is Chapter 1, which follows some frontmatter. The frontmatter page numbers are numbered correctly (i, ii, iii, etc). The first page of Chapter 1 begins with 2-1 instead of 1-1. I have section breaks before and after the chapter. All of the other chapters restart the numbering correctly except this one. I've opened the footer in Chapter 1 that contains the page number and changed the page number setting to "start at 1", but this doesn't help. "Link to previous" is not selected. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Randy |

Restart page numbering in chapter
If the style used for the chapter numbering is part of an outline-numbered
list, make sure you don't have any lower-level heads preceding "Chapter 1." Also check to make sure that you don't have any empty paragraphs or page breaks before "Chapter 1" formatted with the heading style it uses. -- Suzanne S.

Restart page numbering in chapter
The Chapter 1 title uses "Heading 1" style, and is preceded by a section
titled "References and Drawings" which uses the "Title Centered" style. There is a page number and section break (next page) between them, but deleting either or both didn't help. I didn't see any empty paragraphs between the sections. In the Page Number Format dialogue box, the "chapter starts with style" is Heading 1. I forgot to mention I'm using Word 2003. "Suzanne S.

There is also a page break and section break (next page) between Chapter 1 & 2.

Restart page numbering in chapter
A good start is to display nonprinting characters (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm). You can also use Find to search for a given style, and that might easily find it, or you can use the Browse buttons to Browse by Heading. In a previous case (which was a problem with a StyleRef field rather than numbering, but a similar issue), it turned out that the style had been applied to the end-of-cell marker in a table. The actual table text was in a separate paragraph with a different style (the user had pressed Enter at the end of the text, leaving the EOC marker as an empty paragraph), so it was far from obvious. -- Suzanne S.

Restart page numbering in chapter
It looks like the problem is within the number for the first chapter. Chapter
1 looks like this: 1. Test Description & Conditions When I delete everything in the document in front of the chapter title, the page number remains 2-1. When I delete "Test Description & Conditions", the page number doesn't change. It's when I delete "1.", that the page number changes to 1-1 (which is correct). My chapters have to be numbered, though, so how can I work around this? I need my chapter numbering, page numbering, and TOC to be correct. "Suzanne S.

Restart page numbering in chapter
I fixed it!!
I double-clicked on the chapter # to open the Bullets and Numbering dialogue box, went into customize, and toggled the Start at from 1 to 2 and back to 1, and clicked OK. That made the page number for chapter 1 to change from 2-1 to 1-1. Weird, but it worked! "Randy" wrote: It looks like the problem is within the number for the first chapter. Chapter 1 looks like this: 1. Test Description & Conditions When I delete everything in the document in front of the chapter title, the page number remains 2-1. When I delete "Test Description & Conditions", the page number doesn't change. It's when I delete "1.", that the page number changes to 1-1 (which is correct). My chapters have to be numbered, though, so how can I work around this? I need my chapter numbering, page numbering, and TOC to be correct. "Suzanne S.
