Insert the Page field into the Header (under the Insert Menu). The field
will update dynamically. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Nilufer" wrote in message ...

Headers and Footers
When you are in the header pane, the Header and Footer toolbar is displayed.
Where you are typing 1 for the page number, instead of typing, instead use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. This will insert a { PAGE } field that will update automatically. -- Suzanne S.

On the subject of headers and page numbers, is there a way of beginning the
page numbering on the second, rather than the first, page of the document, apart from making the first page a separate section? Bert |

Headers and Footers
Yes. On the Layout tab of Page Setup, check the box for "Different first
page." This will give you a separate First Page Header/Footer. Leave it blank. Insert your PAGE field in the primary Header/Footer. If you want to start at 1 on page 2, click the Format Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar and start the numbering at 0. Alternatively, if this is a very simple document that will never have more than a single section and will not have anything in the header/footer except a page number, use the Insert | Page Numbers dialog, clearing the check box for "Show number on first page." Click the Format... button and start numbering at 0 if desired. -- Suzanne S.

Headers and Footers
One alternative is to use an IF field with nested fields inside, each
field created by pressing Ctrl+F9: {IF {PAGE} 1 "{= {PAGE} - 1}" ""} Another alternative -- not necessarily a good one, depending on why you're doing this -- is to select "Different first page" header/footers, don't display any page number on the first page, and either: - set the page numbering to start with 0, or - replace the {PAGE} field with the nested formula field {= {PAGE} - 1} Note that only the one where you change the starting page number to 0 will behave properly with a table of contents or index; the others change only the displayed numbers in the headers, not the actual page numbers that are reported to the TOC and Index fields.

Susan and Jay,
Thanks very much: lots to experiment with there. As luck would have it, I now have a document that needs several unnumbered pages before the numbering starts (at "1") so I'll see if any of the methods you've given me can accomplish that. Bert |

I would suggest that if there are several front pages that Weill be unnumbered or numbered differently, you keep those pages as a separate section and start a new section where you want the numbering to commence. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Bert Coules" wrote in message ...

Once you get beyond a single page, section breaks provide the most practical
solution. As Terry indicates, you can use fields, but they will, in the long run, be more difficult to maintain. -- Suzanne S.
