Page numbers across all Sections
I am working on a 60 page letter (document) in Word 2007. I have 18
sections, b/c I have a header for every page after page one showing "Topic A (or whatever), continued". I want page numbering at the bottom center to start on page 2 of the document, and go straight through to the end, across all sections. I have tried every which way-- starting with the footer on the second page, which is also the second section, to starting with the first section, tried different first page. I get a 1 on the first page, a 2 on the second page, and a 2 on the third page. The sizes of my sections vary, some are a page or two, others are more than ten pages. I've tried linking to the previous, not linking, formating the page numbers using continue from previous. Whatever I do, it just doesn't go solidly throughout. Can someone from this wonderful discussion group give me a step by step from the beginning? Thanks -- Nat |

If the second page is to have the number 2 on it, use the following field
construction in the footer of the first section { IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } } and link the footers in all of the sections to the footer in the previous section If you want that page to start at 1, then use { IF { PAGE } 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use Alt+F9 to toggle off their display. Note that you might have been able to achieve what you area after by the use of a STYLEREF field instead of all of the sections. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug. It did help. I still had two page 2s, but I fixed that by
deleting a section at the very beginning. I would like to learn how to use stylerefs. The tutorials on MS are for 2003, but I assume they'll work for 2007, also. -- Nat "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: If the second page is to have the number 2 on it, use the following field construction in the footer of the first section { IF { PAGE } 1 { PAGE } } and link the footers in all of the sections to the footer in the previous section If you want that page to start at 1, then use { IF { PAGE } 1 { = { PAGE } - 1 } } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.

Yes, the StyleRef field works in all versions.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm for help with Stylerefs.
You'd probably do well also to read http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm and perhaps http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm -- Suzanne S.
