I am trying to number a document with the first page (no footer) second page
begins "i" and then the third page begins at 1 and so on.... All section breaks are correct and in the footer view the numbering on page 3 of the document begins at 1. When you close Header/footer toolbar the numbering changes to 2 instead of 1. I cannot figure this out! when you click back in the footer the number changes back to 1 like its suppost to be. Please help!! |

Word won't let you put an odd number on a left-hand page. You could
disable all the choices in Page Setup that call for different left and right pages in that Section, and use Different First Page to turn off the page number on the first page.

Apparently, you and Peter are referring to different things he true page
numbers (displayed by PAGE fields) versus calculated page numbers (displayed by formula fields). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

Stefan,
No. I am simply trying to reopen a door that Peter closed. What Peter says can't be done can be done. To each his own, but personally I wish Peter would go away. Since he won't then I wish he would stick to topics within his very limited range of expertise. Since he rarely doesn that, I wish he would try to be correct when he does venture outside that range and quit stating things as fact when they aren't.

You have not really answered Chris's question. We have had a similar issue.
We are trying to use a numbering style on the first page of a document and subsequent pages "Page 1 of XX". When we select the numbering style it looks fine. When we close the document and reopen it instead of the first page being "page 1 of 10" it is "Page 1 of 1" but all the subsequent pages are "page 1 of 10". The only way I could fix it was to manually type in the 10 on the first page. Is this some kind of a glitch in the system?

In "Page X of Y" the Y part is a NUMPAGES field. Did you make sure that the
first page header (or footer) actually contained such a field? Try (re-)inserting the field.

Thank you for responding. Yes I checked and the fields are correct. It is
really strange, when I open the Footer, the page number is correct -- Page 1 of 10 - but when I save and close the document and then open it again the first page reads page 1 of 1 - without the footer being open. I think there is a bug. I reviewed the information here http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm and if I wanted to print the document these instructions work, but for the online version, I have to manually type in "10" on the first page. So I think that is the solution I will need to use. Unless you can come up with something else. "Stefan Blom" wrote: In "Page X of Y" the Y part is a NUMPAGES field.

Footers
Thank you for responding. Yes I checked and the fields are correct. It is
really strange, when I open the Footer, the page number is correct -- Page 1 of 10 - but when I save and close the document and then open it again the first page reads page 1 of 1 - without the footer being open. I think there is a bug. I reviewed the information here http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm and if I wanted to print the document these instructions work, but for the online version, I have to manually type in "10" on the first page. So I think that is the solution I will need to use. Unless you can come up with something else. "Stefan Blom" wrote: In "Page X of Y" the Y part is a NUMPAGES field. Did you make sure that the first page header (or footer) actually contained such a field? Try (re-)inserting the field. Note that you can show/hide all field codes by pressing Alt+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gertrude" wrote in message ... You have not really answered Chris's question. We have had a similar issue. We are trying to use a numbering style on the first page of a document and subsequent pages "Page 1 of XX". When we select the numbering style it looks fine.

This is strange. But I think your analysis is correct: it's probably the old
Page X of Y bug that has surfaced. Sorry, I have no more suggestions than the ones you have already read in the article. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gertrude" wrote in message ...
