Restart existing page numbers in each section
I have a document that I have broken into 8 sections. It's a quick
reference guide. Each section describes a difference procedure. I already have the headers and footers set up the way I want them, but I would like to restart the page numbers at 1 in each section. The online help suggests using Insert | Page numbers, but that repalces my existing footers. How can I leave my footers as they but only restart the numbering? Can I automatically cause page numbering to restart at 1 in all sections, including ones I might add later? |

Restart existing page numbers in each section
Insert | Page Numbers is one way to go, depending on version. If you're
using Word 2003 or earlier, you can get to the Page Number Format dialog directly from the Header and Footer toolbar (the Format Page Number button). In Word 2007, you use Insert | Page Numbers | Format Page Numbers to get to it. Then use "Start at 1" for each section. -- Suzanne S.

That procedure works, but apparently I have to manually do it for each section one at a time, right? I tried selecting all sections and then doing the procedure above, but no joy. |

To do it manually, you do have to repeat the same procedure for each section. To automate it, use the following macro (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed): Sub StartEverySectionAtPage1() Dim oSec As Section For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections With oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = 1 End With Next End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
