Section breaks add page number without adding a page
I am converting a large document from an older version of Word. When I
insert a section break which is to start on a new page, the page number goes up two digits instead of one. For instance, I insert a section break on page 121. The page after the section break should be page #122, but instead it becomes #123. But there is no extra page inserted. I've tried deleting every section break and re-inserting them, but the same thing happens: Word adds an extra page number. I also tried saving the document as a .docx, but that doesn't help, either. This is a professional document, which will eventually be published. I really need help on this. Thanks very much. |

Section breaks add page number without adding a page
Word has converted your Next Page break to an Odd Page break. I won't go
into why it sometimes does this, but you can sometimes reverse the damage by changing the section start type on the Layout tab of Page Setup. -- Suzanne S.

I tried that. It didn't work. Ten hours of work wasted. I guess I go back
to WordPerfect. Thanks anyhow. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Word has converted your Next Page break to an Odd Page break.

I can assure you that the situation is as I describe. Were you unable to
change the section start type from Odd Page to New Page? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "rontiara" wrote in message ... I tried that.
