Section break formatting
Hi guys,
This is really frustrating. I have 2 sections in a document and am trying to format the second section to have a first, even and odd page. In the first section, I want a different first page. I cannot achieve this and once I set the format for the second section, the first section becomes the same with a first,even and odd page. How can I have the two sections formatted differently? Thanks. |

Section break formatting
On the headers and footers in the second section, unlink them from
previous - it's about the fourth from right button on the header and footer toolbar with a picture of a couple of chain links or similar on it. -- Enjoy, Tony "Hesham Ghaleb" wrote in message ...

Section break formatting
"Different first page" can be selected independently by section; "Different
odd and even" is a document-level setting. If you want the header/footer on odd and even pages to be the same in certain sections, just copy Odd Page Header/Footer into the Even Page Header/Footer (or vice versa). -- Suzanne S.

Section break formatting
Thanks Suzanne. That is what I tried to do. The problem then comes in that
when section 1 finishes on an odd page, i.e. 3, section 2 has an extra page so it starts at page 5. I can reset the numering to 1 but the number of pages in section 2 is one greater than the number of pages in that section. The strange thing is that if section 1 say ended at first page, then the section pages in section 2 are correct! It is very frustrating. What I want to achieve is simple. Section one has a different first page and page numbering is Page number (restarted from 1 for that section) and number of pages in that section. Section 2 should start on an odd page and have a different first page and also have the same numbering scheme with the extra blank pages inserted if section 1 ends on an even page. If i try to reset numbering in section 2 when section break is for an odd page, the blank page at say page 4 if section 1 has 3 pages dissappears which is correct since page number of 1 is an odd page so there is no need for a blank page. I would appreciate your help. Thanks. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: "Different first page" can be selected independently by section; "Different odd and even" is a document-level setting.

Section break formatting
When you choose "Different odd and even," Word assumes you will be
duplexing. This can result in some interesting page numbering effects, but note that an Odd Page will always be (1) odd-numbered and (2) a recto (right-hand) page. You can start a section on an even page (back of an odd page), but you cannot start it with an odd page number (such as 1). And yes, the blank page that Word inserts tends to get counted in the wrong section, resulting in incorrect SectionPages counts. There are workarounds for NumPages and SectionPages; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm -- Suzanne S.

Section break formatting
Hi,
The suggestions in the link you sent me will not work. Is there an alternative? I am using my document as a templates which gets used as a template. Hence, the template might create 5 or 7 sections that are the same formatting as section 2 in the template. So I cannot use a page ref. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

Perhaps someone else can offer another solution.
