How can I add page numbers to a doc without the format getting all messed up?
I've got a 12 page doc with .75 inch margins all around and a footnote on pg
11. and I need to number pp 2-12. How would I do this without messing up the formatting? I can't make it any longer in that the doc has to be 12 pages or fewer and I'm already at the bottom of the 12th page and I don't want to remove any text. Thank you, John |

Hi John,
You could put a page number field in the document header or footer - and format the header or footer to suit your layout needs. To suppress the page number on page 1, you could: .. format the document's page layout to have a 'different first page', and only insert the page number into the 2nd page header or footer. .. insert a 'next page' Section break at the end of that page, then format the header or footer for the Section starting on page 2 so that it's unlinked from the header or footer on the page 1; or .. use a field in the header or footer coded as {IF{PAGE} 1 {PAGE}} or {={PAGE}-1 \# 0;;} For either of the first two methods above, you can format the page # to start from '1' on page 2, if you prefer. For the last method, the second version of the field code achieve the same end. Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the last example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "John" wrote in message ...
