Page numbering in Word 2003
I hope someone can help me before I go bald with rage at the lack of
intuitive behaviour in the above app. I want W2003 to number pages automatically in the Footer, but starting at a number other than 1. I have tried following the Help topics, but whatever page number I put in to start, W2003 numbers all subsequent pages with the same number!!! HEEEELP!!! |

Page numbering in Word 2003
Rather than manually typing...delete the "1" you've typed and then....
Insert Page Numbers... Position: Bottom of Page OK Cheers -- BO Haynes MOS Word Expert 2003 MOS PowerPoint 2003 "UKdeejay" wrote: I hope someone can help me before I go bald with rage at the lack of intuitive behaviour in the above app. I want W2003 to number pages automatically in the Footer, but starting at a number other than 1.

Page numbering in Word 2003
Sorry BO, I think that is what I have been doing? No go!
Incidentally the 'Bottom of Page' option is greyed out, so it's lucky it seems to be the default. Something else I maybe should have mentioned... when I select Headers & Footers, outside the dotted line in the top right hand corner it says 'same as previous' - what does that mean & how do you change it, as I have a sneaking suspicion this may be causing the problem but, yet again, Help returns no results when searching for this phrase.

Page numbering in Word 2003
I don't actually understand what BO said to do. In order to put page
numbers in a footer (or header), go to View | Headers & Footers (or double-click in a header or footer), put your cursor in the header or footer paragraph where you want the page number to be, and click the page number icon (the rightmost one) on the Headers & Footers toolbar. Then if you want it centered, type a tab before it (it automatically opened up with a centered tab stop in the middle of the line). The "Same as Previous" setting means that you'll get the same headers & footers throughout your document. You unselect that when you want, say, each chapter in your book to have the chapter title as its header. You can change your header as many times as you have Sections in your document. Typically you'll use "Different First Page" but mark the First Page of each section to be Same as Previous, since it won't have a visible header at all, just the page number in the footer. Then you might put the book title in your left-page header, marked Same as Previous in every chapter, and the chapter title in the right-page header, and then you'd unselect Same as Previous and put the chapter title in each right-page header individually (or use style markers, if they don't need to be shortened to fit). Important: always adjust your "Same as Previous" links from the front of the document to the back. If you change that setting in a later chapter, weird things can happen and you have to go back to the beginning to fix them anyway.

Page numbering in Word 2003
Sometimes Word is confusing? It took several weeks to figure it all
