Changing page numbers in normal.dot template
Whenever I open a new blank document (normal.dot template opens), the
document opens to Page 2, but it still says Sec 1 and 1/1. This causes problems when I want to add page numbers to the footer in the form of Page x of y, since it comes up as Page 2 of 1. If anyone knows how to change the template so that it opens on Page 1, that would be great. I am using Microsoft Word 2002. |

Changing page numbers in normal.dot template
On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Format Page Number. If it says
"Start at 2," change it to "Continue from previous section" (the default setting). If this corrects the problem in the current document, then open Normal.dot directly and change the setting there. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions on locating Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S.

Changing page numbers in normal.dot template
Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have tried to correct the problem, through the
Header and Footer toolbar, but it does not change anything in the document. I have created a new template and this corrects the problem. Thanks. "Suzanne S.
