page numbering
I have Word 2003.
There are 80 pages in my pamphlet. Some are single column, most are 2 columns. I have repeatedly gone to header (that is where i want pagination to be) and started the numbering but due to the constant changing formats of "section break, continuous, or page break every so many pages along, the numbers all keep changing. I would like to sove this by manually putting page numbers on the top of each page, but the 2 columns on each page prevent my inserting into the middle. So how do i completely turn off the header footer territory so i can just type the page numbers in peace? It is as if the header wont allow anyone into its space; it keeps appearing if i try to type a page number, and changes all my efforts everytime it comes to a page that changes from 2 to one column. Thank you.

You should not be having to do anything with the page numbers. You should be
able to insert a { PAGE } field in the first header and leave it alone, and the page numbers will progress correctly throughout the document provided they are not restarted anywhere (that is, provided that the numbering in every section is set to "Continue from previous section"). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you
"{page field} I am not sure if "continue from previous section" can be set for the numbers when not every page can be set that way since the pages are formatted to change from one column to two and back again so they cannot be a continuation or the formatting changes. That is the gist of the actual problem and why i tried to insert the numbers manually. Does this make any sense to you? "Suzanne S.

Hi Jeanne,
No, you're confusing two unrelated things. The setting Suzanne mentioned is in the Format Page Numbering dialog, and it affects only the page number sequence -- it has nothing at all to do with column formatting. If you haven't seen it, then you haven't changed it, so your page numbers are still consecutive throughout the document. The point we're both trying to make is that the page number field should be in the header, *not* in the text area. Then it won't interact at all with the columns, the section breaks, or anything else. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Thu, 2 Dec 2004 17:13:01 -0800, jeanne wrote: Thank you "{page field} I am not sure if "continue from previous section" can be set for the numbers when not every page can be set that way since the pages are formatted to change from one column to two and back again so they cannot be a continuation or the formatting changes.
