Page Reference referencing actual page # not what's in footer
I have two documents, Doc A and Doc B. Doc B starts on page 41, but when I
make a reference in Doc A (i.e. see Doc B on page __) it comes up as "1" and not "41". Technically, it's page 1, but i want it to say 41 (as it does in the footer). These are the steps that I took: I double clicked the footer in Doc B and highlighted the "41" and did insert bookmark and named it landuse. The code I used in Doc A is {PAGE "C:\\Documents and Settings\\jmorris\\Desktop\\test\\4bLandUse.doc" landuse} When i update the field, it shows up as page 1 and not 41. Is there a way to fix this? |

Page Reference referencing actual page # not what's in footer
Your mistake was in bookmarking the page field itself. Since the page number
appears on every page, Word can't assign a single page number to it. Instead, insert your bookmark somewhere in the text portion of that first page; then try again and see if you get the desired result. -- Suzanne S.

it still says page 1. In fact, i tried to bookmark page 42 and it said page 1
also. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Your mistake was in bookmarking the page field itself. Since the page number appears on every page, Word can't assign a single page number to it.

Are all these pages in a single section? And you used "Start at 41" in the
Format Page Number dialog to start the numbering at 41 on the first page? And you have selected the PageRef and updated it with F9? -- Suzanne S.

Yes, it does say "start at 41" in teh format page number dialog. I do have
'different first page' checked in page set up, but i'm only looking to bookmark the first page of each of my documents, so hopefully multiple sections wont matter in this instance. "Suzanne S.

And you're sure you're inserting the bookmark in the body of the document
and not in the header or footer? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "jennifer72401" wrote in message ...

yes.
The only thing I can think of, is there's a macro I run from the TOC file (based on RD fields) that consecutively updates the page numbers. But it still says 'start at page 41' in the page format dialog box (as you asked previously). "Suzanne S.

Perhaps someone with VBA expertise will volunteer to look at your document.
I'd offer, but if there's a macro involved, I might not be able to spot the problem. -- Suzanne S.
