Headers in a Section
How do I make a new Section and add a new Header to it? When I insert a
section then try to add the Header it changes the Header on the section above the one I'm trying to create. |

Headers in a Section
This happens because the new header is linked to the previous header:
Go to the new section in your document. In Print Layout view, double-click the header. Does a small text saying €śSame as previous€ť appear above the header? If this is the case, turn it off by clicking the €śLink to previous€ť icon in the €śHeader and Footer€ť toolbar (no. 5 command from the right). Now you should be able to type a header without affecting the header in the previous section. If you need section-specific footers too, you must also turn off €śSame as previous€ť in the footer. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools €“ Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation €“ add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Hezzy" wrote: How do I make a new Section and add a new Header to it?

Headers in a Section
Thank you soooooooooo much Lene, I have been racking my brain all morning. I
followed your instruction to a "T" and got it straightened out. Thank you again. Now can you help me with page numbers. I added a new document which is section #11. There is a total of 14 pages but my document is only 1 page. When I try to add the page numbers it automatically goes to 1 of 14.

I would gladly help you with the page numbers but I do not understand exactly
what your problem is. Could you please explain more clearly: Do you have a document with only 1 page which should be page no. 14 of 14 or??? -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools €“ Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation €“ add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Hezzy" wrote: Thank you soooooooooo much Lene, I have been racking my brain all morning.

Headers in a Section
The document system where I work is set up in sections. For example, work
instructions under Contingency Plans consist of 9 different work instructions. The work instructions make up a total of 14 pages. Some instructions are 2 pages long, some 3 pages, etc. My new document is just 1 page. My new document is in Section 11. When I try to add the number of pages (page 1 of 5) it automatically goes to page 1 of 14. I need it to say page 1 of 1.

Headers in a Section
With the selection in the Section containing the document that you added,
select page numbers from the Insert menu and then click on the Format button and select the "Continue from previous section" radio button. Then click on OK and then on CLOSE (Do NOT click on OK in the Page Numbers dialog or it will insert another set of page numbers.) -- Hope this helps.

You need to use the SECTIONPAGES field instead of the NUMPAGES field if you
want the number of pages in the section to be displayed rather than the number of pages in the complete document. -- Hope this helps.

Headers in a Section
I tried inserting a SECTIONPAGES field but all I got was the number (1). I
need Page 1 of 1. I'm also trying to copy a section and paste it into a section. I've never worked with sections before and it's driving me nuts.

The field construction that you need is
Page { PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and you use Alt+F9 to toggle off their display. -- Hope this helps.
