Page numbering for seperate documents in one file
It seems to be very difficult to have several documents within the same file,
when you want to show the page numbering both the current page and the total pages. Thus, if you have a file with 5 documents that each start out as no numbering on page 1, but then numbering after that as Page # of ## pages. it is very difficult to get it right, even with section breaks. |

Page numbering for seperate documents in one file
I don't quite understand your question, plus you should always state
Word and OS version. If you just want to hide numbering on the first page, then you use a Different First Page header and put Page X of Y in the regular header/footer. Put a section break between each of your five chapters or letters or whatever, and make sure each section has a Different First Page header. More info: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm If you are restarting numbering in each section, but you want to show the full accumulation of pages, see he http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Page_Numbering.htm Reading those links should help you explain more clearly what you need to do, if they don't solve it. PS. To Word, a document is a file. It will be simpler all around if you think in terms of chapters or letters or whatever, within one Word document or Word file. bretsharon wrote: It seems to be very difficult to have several documents within the same file, when you want to show the page numbering both the current page and the total pages.

Page numbering for seperate documents in one file
Thank you for your comments. Let me explain further. I use word 2007 and
and XP Professional. I am a lawyer doing lots of agreements for one client. Lets say a client is doing a deal and it requires 8 separate documents, each separate and distinct, but having common parties. Thus if there is a misspelling say of one party's name, to fix it, I have to separtely open each separate document. Instead, in wordperfect, all of these documents are in one document and I could make the change by one action. Each document would start its own renumbering, leaving page 1 of each blank on the page numbering. The total pages number had to me inserted manually for each document, but this was not difficult to do. In Word, I can't seem to say don't number page 1 of each document when that it is a new document, so I am forced to have 8 separate files.

Page numbering for seperate documents in one file
Insert Section Breaks between each document and use a Different First Page
Header/Footer in each Section. Do not put any page numbering in the First Page Header/Footer. Set the page number format to start at 1 for each Section and to the get total number of pages in each Section, use a { SECTIONPAGES } field. -- Hope this helps.

Page numbering for seperate documents in one file
Thank you. This Works, although the numbering seems to be haphazard at best,
but eventually it does work. |
