Add page numbers in Word and skip first three
Ok this is really annoying... Microsoft should fix this... I want my pages
numbered but I DON"T WANT THEM ON THE FIRST THREE PAGES... I'm creating a Word doc for a book and NO ONE puts page numbers on the copyright page or forward or introduction... I want it to start on the first page when the book starts on CHAPTER ONE... Why is there not an option to do this? Isn't Word a program to write a BOOK? Why does everything have to be set up for buisness? |

James,
Feel better? Word can be frustrating. You can achieve your desire effect several ways. Use a section break after page three or use conditional headers or footers. See: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm and http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Conditiona...rs_Footers.htm -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

In your current state of mind perhaps you can't be helped.

I figured out part of what I want to do but I think it should be eaiser...
There should be more options in page numbering... It's silly and too complicated and not very user friendly... I'm not stupid... I've had a computer for the past fifteen years and this was just a pointless waste of time... I'm sure I can can find a better program online for free that does the same thing with one click... Come ON Microsoft... Get it together... "Greg Maxey" wrote: James, Feel better? Word can be frustrating. You can achieve your desire effect several ways.

The current state of software mumbo jumbo perhaps cannot be helped... Get

Could be. Fact is that you are not carrying on this diatribe with anyone at
Microsoft at present so it is comparable to ****ing in the wind. The solution has been provided twice. It you don't want to see it because you are in such a froth that things don't work the way you think they should then then perhaps you can't be helped. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

www.OpenOffice.org
It's Sun Microsystems, free, downloadable, and does a lot of what Office does. Check out their newsgroups. Your attitude stops you from getting quick and useful responses; it's bad. Not only that, but this isn't Microsoft here; it's just a newsgroup ABOUT microsoft products on their servers, no more, no less. There are no paid employees running these groups. No one here will mind if you switch to OO, and complain to them. You can even suggest changes there and help in future designs. HTH, Pop "James Inman" James wrote in message ...
