Word 2003 messes up my page numbering
I think this is what we've been telling you from the outset. If you have
Continuous section breaks falling in the middle of a page, then you can have sections in which the numbering restarts, but they are not accessible from the Header and Footer toolbar. There are two possible approaches: 1. Insert a temporary page break in the section that falls in the middle of the page, then use Format Page Number on the H&F toolbar to set numbering to "Continue from previous section." 2. With the insertion point in the inaccessible section use Insert | Page Numbers: Format.... After setting the format, click OK, but be sure to click Close rather than OK back in the main dialog so that you don't insert another page number field. -- Suzanne S.

"*((({" wrote in message ... I KNOW I'm misunderstanding something! lol There are section breaks in the document, because some text is set to columns. That automatically creates a section break, when you return to single column. Maybe the renumbering was restarting after every column change. Is that a relevant clue? *(((({ In the last exciting episode on Thu, 26 Jan 2006 08:40:25 -0600, "Suzanne S.

If so, something more than Word is the problem here, as that should not be necessary. I think you are misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure what. |
