showing chapter numbers with page number when scrolling
I want to have chapter numbers show with the page numbers when I scroll
through a document. I can't seem to get this to happen consistently. I format the chapter numbers as headings and scroll by page, but word displays the chapter number inconsistently. I can't seem to frame the question successfully in help. TIA for help with this. I've been struggling with it for a long time. - charles |

You can't customize the way Word displays information when scrolling through
a document, I'm afraid. On the other hand, if you are trying to add chapter numbers with page numbers (so that this setup prints and displays in headers, or footers, and in the TOC), see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP charles wrote in message ...

showing chapter numbers with page number when scrolling
Thanks, but I must not be making myself clear. My Word displays the page
number in a box to the right when I scroll through a document. In some documents it also displays, in the same box, the chapter number--sometimes. I've tried formatting the chapter headings in various ways, and I think that's the key, because sometimes that seems to do the trick, at least temporarily. But I haven't figured out how to control it. Word isn't so capricious that it will do things like this at random, I assume. So I must not know the correct way to get this to happen. That's the information I'm looking for. thanks, - charles "Stefan Blom" wrote in : You can't customize the way Word displays information when scrolling through a document, I'm afraid.

As I wrote, Word offers no control over the little "scroll box." Personally,
I haven't noticed any inconsistencies, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP charles wrote in message ... Thanks, but I must not be making myself clear.

The page number displayed reflects what is displayed by the PAGE field in
the document. At least this is the case with Word 2010 and 2013. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP charles wrote in message ...

I guess Word makes use of a mechanism similar to the STYLEREF field, but I
don't know for certain... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP charles wrote in message ...

Hi Charles,
But where does Word 2007 get the chapter number that it (sometimes) displays? Knowing that would probably solve my problem. your chapters are not numbered, but when scrolling a chapter number is shown? When scrolling Word usually shows beginning of those paragraphs which are formatted with an outline level. -- Cheers, Lisa |

I thought outline-level styles might be involved so I checked and all my chapter numbers in the document that doesn't show them are Heading 1 style which is outline level 1. That's what's driving me crazy. Because in some other docs, they do show. thanks, - charles Hi Charles, But where does Word 2007 get the chapter number that it (sometimes) displays?

Hi Charles,
I do have chapter numbers, and I'd like them to be shown. In some documents, Word shows them, in others not. I thought outline-level styles might be involved so I checked and all my chapter numbers in the document that doesn't show them are Heading 1 style which is outline level 1. That's what's driving me crazy. Because in some other docs, they do show. are those headings placed within a table Can you see those headings in the navigation pane? -- Cheers, Lisa |

I think you may be onto something here... It appears that the "scroll pop-up
box" omits heading numbers for headings inside table cells. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lisa Wilke-Thissen" wrote in message ...

The Navigation pane replaced the Document Map in Word 2010 (and later).
