Page numbering across several documents
(Using Word 2002 in Office XP. All updates etc in place.)
My wife is working on a novel that consists of eight sections, each one in its own file "novel1", "novel2", ... "novel8". The novel's page numbering is consecutive thorough all eight parts. For example if the last page of part 1 is "123", the first page of part 2 is "124" and on into the other files. The way I did this was to start the page numbering in each new part by actually inserting the incremented number: Insert Page number Format Start at. It seemed like an acceptable solution at the time but now it's causing a problem in the editing stage. She's already made changes in the first part that have changed (reduced) the number of pages, which means that all of the page numbering in the other parts is wrong. This problem is likely to become even worse as the editing process continues. I've looked at "creating master documents" in Word Help and it didn't make much sense. Is there some other way to get Word to pick up the last page number of a designated document and use it+1 as the first page number of another document? -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

See the following website put together by fellow MVP Daiya Mitchell
http://daiya.mvps.org/bookword.htm It contains a section on keeping chapters in separate files and how to number across them. But the best thing might be to eventually combine all of the files into one document. -- Hope this helps.

"Doug Robbins - Word MVP"
See the following website put together by fellow MVP Daiya Mitchell http://daiya.mvps.org/bookword.htm Thanks Doug. I thought it would involve fields and I was right: { = { PAGE} + { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\My Book\\Chap1.doc" Chap1Pages \* CharFormat \! } } This should all be on a single line, I suppose. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

It won't matter if it Wordwraps when entering the field construction, but it
must not be split by the use of either Shift+Enter or Enter. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
