Page numbers when starting on other than the first page
Use Alt+Shift+P to insert a PAGE field. Note, however, that the page number
will appear on every page unless you have inserted a section break and unlinked the header/footer where you have the page numbers from the one in the previous section. If you want the numbering to start with a number other than 1, you must use the Page Number Format dialog to change the "Start at" number. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "notlikingwordatall" wrote in message ... First, BuildingBlocks.dotx is not disabled. I already checked it. Can't get Word to insert page numbers. I can only get '1' on the first page I attempt to number. Can't get Word to insert page numbers without moving everything else. I click outside the footer, closing the edit footer window, and all my text stays where it moved when I first opened the footer. All I can find to insert page numbers are long, complicated Word help files, and yes, I followed the directions I found. Why is this so hard? They're page numbers. I should be able to select any page I want to start numbering from, insert page numbers, and have them actually appear on every page after that point, and not all numbered '1.' It shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 clicks to insert page numbers. I've now devoted hours to this one (what should be) simple task and still have no page numbers. Do I have to manually insert page numbers on every single page in the 257-page manuscript I'm working on? -- notlikingwordatall |
