MS WORD NUMBERING
I'm formatting a document that is 404 pages long that MS broken up in to
sections with the last one being 187. The sections are also not numbered in exact sequence but goes section 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 with no sections 3, 5, 6, 7 on and on up to section 187. The numbering from sections 1, 2 and 4 is the way it should be but from 4 to 8 it jumps from page 14 to page 16 when I'm working in the footer but 13 to 16 when I am working in the body. Even though Word says there are 403 pages in the document the last page is numbered 440. I've gone through them section by section and tried to change the numbering system but it refuses to work. I've followed all the instructions on MS page but the number keep skipping. Can anyone please help me? I've spent hours working on this and tried dozens of solutions I found on the net but none of them work. Please help. |

MS WORD NUMBERING
When you say sections, do you mean Sections as are separated one from
another by Section Breaks. I assume that you are talking about the page numbering. However, you might just try running a macro containing the following code and see if it fixes up the numbering. Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = 2 To .Sections.Count .Sections(i).Footers(1).PageNumbers.RestartNumberi ngAtSection = False Next i .Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.StartingNumber = 1 End With -- Hope this helps.

MS WORD NUMBERING
MS Word only does what you make it do. I have no idea what you mean by "the
way MS word broke them up" As for how to use the code that I sent to you, see the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out? at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm -- Hope this helps.

I pasted the code into the macros but it says there is a syntax error in the
4th line. Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = 2 To .Sections.Count ..Sections(i).Footers(1).PageNumbers.RestartNumber ingAtSection = False Next i ..Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.StartingNumbe r = 1 End With What needs to be changed? bill |

The 'False' on the 5th line has been prematurely wrapped and should be on
the fourth line See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BrigadierBill wrote: I pasted the code into the macros but it says there is a syntax error in the 4th line.

The word False should be on the same line as

GREAT! I went through it page by page after running the macro and it's just
the way it should be. It's a great relief. Will this run automatically every time I open the file or MS Word? |

In a single "problem" document, it shouldn't be necessary to run the macro
more than once. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "BrigadierBill" wrote in message ... GREAT! I went through it page by page after running the macro and it's just the way it should be. It's a great relief. Will this run automatically every time I open the file or MS Word? |

No, it will not run automatically, but then it should not be necessary for
it to do so. Unless those settings are changed by the user, by default, they would be the same as the way they are set by the code in the macro. -- Hope this helps.

MS WORD NUMBERING
I see you've gotten the result you need with the macro Doug provided, but
note that the reason Word is inserting (Continuous) section breaks is undoubtedly that you have changed section-level formatting within a page, most likely changing the number of columns. In order to access the page numbering for these mid-page sections, you must click in the section itself, go to Insert | Page Numbers, click on Format, and choose "Continue from previous section." After clicking OK in the Page Number Format dialog, be sure to click Close (not OK) in the Page Numbers dialog so you don't insert another number. -- Suzanne S.
