More Numbering Nightmares
Hi,
Restarting Numbering problems this time (Word 2003). As per the various MVP FAQs my numbering is all in styles. This is basic numbering, not outlined. For the first 100 pages of my document I can use the Restart and Continue options just fine, but once I get over 100 pages hitting restart (from the context menu) causes Word to think for a second, the numbering returns to 1 (or i, a or whatever) for a half a second (just enough to give you hope) then it returns to whatever it was in the first place. I tried Ctrl+Q, the macros on the MVP site, redefining the styles without any joy. Finally I just deleted out the first hundred pages of the document in case Word was just 'losing count' in a document that size and hey presto, all the numbering worked just fine. I sorted out the numbers from this point, then just pased the 100 pages back in again, did a Ctrl+A and F9 and still everything was in the right sequence. Have other people noticed this? Is there are better fix or should I encourage my users to cut out the first 100 pages when attempting to restart the numbering in this document? Thanks Paul |

Hi Paul
Neither the length of the document, nor the appealingly round number of 100 pages is likely to be the cause of the problem. Cutting and pasting large chunks of text is, as far as I'm aware, unlikely to be a general fix-it solution. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Thanks,
I can only describe what the document is doing and cutting the first 100 pages is (for now) working. I wondered if there is some code on or around page 100 that is preventing the insertion of the Restart Numbering marker. I tried switching on the field codes but the numbering markers don't show up so it is difficult to test that theory. "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ...
