Page Numbering
Hello All. I can't seem to get out of this, have followed
instructions in various posts - but stuck. I'm going off my b****y head! 10 pages. I want no numbers on the first 2, then the rest numbered 1 to 8, in the format Page X of Y. I've split the doc into 2 sections ok, and 1-8 are appearing on the last 8 pages but pages one and two are numbered 1 and 2. How can I get rid of those two page numbers? Thanks. |

Unlink the header/footer in section 2 from that in section 1, then delete
the page numbers in section 1. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA wrote in message ... Hello All.

How many pages are there? If there are 10 pages, then Word is displaying the
correct result. If you want it to show only 8 pages, then edit the {PAGES} field to { {PAGES } -2 }. Or if that is too difficult, delete the {PAGES} field and enter 8 - but that won't dynamically update if you add/reduces pages later. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...

I always have problems with numbering, headers, footers, etc. For example, when I go to View Header & Footer, that seems to change the layout of the whole document - shifting things up or down, and then I sometimes have to shift the the Footer up because, on printing, only part or none of the page number shows on the print. Any general tips? Would it make sense to set up sections, page numbering, headers, footers, etc before starting to compile a document? |

Or, if you have a section break already, you may be able to use the
SECTIONPAGES field instead of the PAGES field to get the number of pages in the given section. -- Suzanne S.

Page Numbering
The answer is to create templates. With templates, you can create exactly
what you need and reuse it repeatedly. When you view H&Fs, the view seems to change because H&Fs are faded out in normal editing. If page numbers don't print, it is because the Footer margin is set too low and is in the unprintable border of the page that. With many printers, the unprintable area of the bottom border is surprisingly large. To repeat the advice one of my colleagues gave someone earlier today... The key is preparation - you need to create a good template to start with. Take a look at these articles... Creating a Template - The Basics (Part I) http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm Creating a Template (Part II) http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Creating Custom Toolbars for Templates http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=262 Why use Microsoft Word's built-in heading styles? http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...ingStyles.html Regards: Terry |

I have just thought about the change in appearance when you go to View,
H&Fs. You have probably got the HideWhiteSpace option toggle on. If you move the mouse pointer so that it is midway between two pages, the pointer will change to 2 opposing arrow. Double-click now and you will toggle the H&Fs on/off. Normally you should leave them on. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...
