Page Numbers Across Different Documents in Word 2007
I am trying to link page numbers across separate documents. In other words,
I have multiple documents where I want the page numbers to be sequential across them - so, e.g., I have a "part I" document ending at page 5 and I want the "part II" separate document to start with page 6. I have used the quickparts feature to set up a table of contents that references different, separate documents but am having trouble with this. Can anyone help? |

Page Numbers Across Different Documents in Word 2007
There is no built-in mechanism to do this automatically.
You can do it manually: In each document, open the Header pane; on the Header & Footer Tools ribbon, click the Page Number button and choose Format Page Numbers; and enter the correct starting number in the Start At box. Obviously, it would be best to wait to do this until all editing is finished so you don't have to do it more than once. It would be possible to write a macro to automate the manual procedure, but you would have to run the macro when you want to update the numbers rather than having them adjust automatically. A possible alternative is to keep everything in one document, separating the chapters with section breaks. This would simplify many other things, such as the table of contents and index, at the same time. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
