How to number in one section but not another
I'm using Word 2002 and I have a document divided into two sections. I don't
want the pages in the first section to be numbered but do want the pages in the second section to be numbered. I removed all the existing numbers and successfully numbered the pages in the second section; however, numbers reappear in the first section. If I then delete the numbers in the first section, the numbers in both sections disappear. How do I solve this? |

How to number in one section but not another
You will have to unlink the footer (or header, depending on where page
numbers reside) of the first section. For more about this, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontMatter.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "robertk9" wrote in message ...

How to number in one section but not another
Sorry, but I don't get it. If you follow steps 1 and 2 you get separately
numbered sections. When you try to remove the numbers from the first section, both sections empty. Maybe I am not "unlinking" them correctly? -- mikoh "Stefan Blom" wrote: You will have to unlink the footer (or header, depending on where page numbers reside) of the first section.

Never mind, I got it. I just put a section break after every page and set to
use different first page. -- mikoh "mikoh" wrote: Sorry, but I don't get it. If you follow steps 1 and 2 you get separately numbered sections.

How to number in one section but not another
The article to which Stefan refers you describes how to have *different*
numbering in two sections. When I started writing the article, I wrote that the first step was to unlink the sections (by clicking the Same as Previous or Link to Previous button on the Header and Footer toolbar to turn it off), but then I found that this is not necessary just for restarting numbering or changing the number style. It *is* necessary, however, if you want to remove the numbering entirely; if the Web site where that article appears were under my control, I would long since have revised the article to make that clear, but revisions are unfortunately so involved that I haven't gotten around to it. -- Suzanne S.

Well, whatever works... But this is not the best way to do it.

How to number in one section but not another
As Suzanne wrote, this won't be the best way to do it; you should be able to
accomplish what you want more easily. A possible source of confusion here is that each Word section can have up to three different headers (and footers), namely if both "Different odd and even" and "Different first page" are checked in the Page Setup dialog box. You can see the type of header displayed once you've activated the header/footer area (for example by double-clicking the header). And you can move between different headers (different footers) by using the Next and Previous buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar. When there are more than one type of header and footer present, each type must be separately unlinked from the corresponding one in the previous section. (Note that you may have to temporarily insert a manual page break to see all the headers and footers and unlink them.) For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mikoh" wrote in message ... Never mind, I got it.
