how to number pages differently
I have a paper in Turabian format, with footnotes and bibliography. The
title page has no page number. The first page is numbered at the bottom center. The body of the paper is numbered at the top right. The bibliography is numbered at the bottom center. I cannot get Word to allow me to number the paper the way I need it. It either puts all the numbers at the top or bottom, but will not allow me to change them, even when I try section breaks. If I try to do it manually, then all the page numbers become the same on all the pages. How do I turn off page numbers for one section of the paper and allow it to do page numbers in the other part of the paper. |

I have had to overcome the same problem. What you need to do is to divide
your document into different SECTIONS. Go to INSERT and then click on BREAK... instead of inserting a page break, insert a section break. This allows you to set up the numbering differntly in each section. You can even choose to continue numbering from one section to the other, OR have each section begin number anew.

When I choose Insert and Break, I have other choices. Is the correct choice "odd page"???? Thanks Buffalo!!! |
