Why can't I see the page numbers?
I am having a very frustrating problem. I have a large document that has
about 68 pages. The document just automatically sectioned itself off, I didn't want it to be in sections, but I don't know how to just make the whole document 'section 1'. Anyway, I tried putting page numbers on the document, and it only shows the page numbers on Some pages, not all of them. So I'll have page 2 show up, but on page 3 it doesn't show up, then it will say it on page 5, but it won't show up again on another few pages. I am racking my brain, I can't figure out, WHY do the page numbers in the footer only show up on SOME pages, and not ALL pages? |

Why can't I see the page numbers?
Word inserts section breaks automatically if you change the number of
columns or certain other layout settings. If you want page numbers to be uniform on all pages, make sure that all the headers and footers are linked (Link to Previous, Same as Previous), and keep in mind that each section can have up to three separate headers/footers (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for more on this). -- Suzanne S.
