hide page numbers in alternate sections
I have gotten this far: Divided my Word doc into 7 sections, with continuous
pagination throughout. Here's where I am stuck: I want to hide the page numbers in Sections 1, 3, 5, and 7, and show the page numbers in Sections 2, 4, and 6. I can't seem to do it. I tried to "break the connection" between sections; the "help" instructions tell me to click editLinksSourceFileetc. BUT when the Edit menu drops down, "links" is not available (not highlighted?) I would sure like to know what to do next. Thanks.-- HazelD |

hide page numbers in alternate sections
Your instructions were faulty. On the Header and Footer toolbar, you need to
unlink the headers and footers using the Same as Previous (or Link to Previous) button. Once they're unlinked, you can insert or remove page numbers in one section without affecting others. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm. Depending on what you're doing with these alternating sections, you may find that just enabling "Different first page" will accomplish the same thing for you, and you can get by with half as many sections (and not have to unlink them). -- Suzanne S.
