Insert page numbers doesn't work. Help!?
I combined several word documents into one and wants to insert page numbers
after creating one section break. However, when I execute the "insert page numbers" command, no page numbers appear in the document. Moreover, the header and footer toolbar doesn't show either when it is requested on the view header and footer command. I am at a loss what the problem could be. Thanks for any assistance. |

Never use Insert Page Number. Ever.
Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm. For even more, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Page_Numbering.htm. Open a document and go into Header / Footer view. If the toolbar does not display then press Alt-F11. This brings up the vba editor. At the bottom of the screen should be a window that says "Immediate Window." If it is not, press Ctrl-G. Type the following in the Immediate Window and press Enter: Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Visible = True Go back to the Word window. Can you see your toolbar? If not then go back to the Immediate Window and add the following two statements: Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Top = 394 Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Left = 152 Note, you can cut and paste the statements from this message into the Immediate Window but have to paste them one at a time and press Enter at the end of each statement yourself. You can close the vba Editor. Your toolbar should be there and should stick around for you next time you open Word's header/footer view.

Hi Charles,
When I typed the first application.commandbars..... statement in the immediate window and pressed enter, a run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': automation error (unspecified error) occurred. So I was unable to fully execute your recommendations. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Never use Insert Page Number. Ever.
