Reset Page Number with each Level 1 Heading
I created this doc that will be sectioned off by a page break before setting
in the Heading 1 style. I want to be able to restart the page numbering with each Heading 1. This will enable me to keep the entire document as a single document, able to print just a specific section (and refreshed TOC) after a revision or update. A bonus would be a method of counting the pages of each section (Heading 1) to report page x of y. I do not want to insert section breaks as I am using them now in parts of the document that are 2 and three columns. Any expertise in this regard would be greatly appreciate. I can send a barebone doc that has the format I am using to get a better idea of what I am asking for. Thanks -Eddie |

Thanks for the reply
As I stated, I am use the "Page Break Before" property that I set for the Paragraph and defined that in my Style. I do not want to use Insert Section Breaks. The reason behind that is that I am already using Section Breaks in areas of my document already. I am sure that there is a formula solution to resetting the the page number adter each Header 1 style (which is level 1 in my outline and TOC). Appreciate the effort tho....

Hi Eddie,
I am sure that there is a formula solution to resetting the the page number adter each Header 1 style (which is level 1 in my outline and TOC). Glad you have so much confidence in Word, but I'm afraid you may be a bit optimistic. The only solutions avoiding section breaks that I can think of are pretty ugly. You could insert a cross reference to the heading's page number after each heading and format it in a white character style. Let's call that style h_page, then you can put the running chapter page number in the header using { = { Page } - { StyleRef "h_page" } + 1 } If you write a macro to insert the cross references (PageRef fields), I'd make that strip out all the old ones and insert them anew. It seems very unlikely to me that there's a wholly automatic solution. Such a solution would need to get at the page number of the last "Heading 1" paragraph, and I don't think that can be done. It would be nice if you could use built-in bookmarks for something like that: { PageRef \\HeadingLevel } .... but it does not work. Greetings, Klaus |

I tried your method.... I got syntax errors
I'm afriad that you're right... about being optimistic. I sent the doc (stripped down version) to our last Connections Presentor (at his invite) and we'll see how that works out.
