SEQ field cannot be used in header?
I get an error message (Error! Main Document Only.) when trying to use a SEQ
field in a header or footer. I have an appendix to a document that I wanted page numbered separately from the main document. Is there a work-around? |

Insert a section break before the appendix and restart page numbering; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm in general and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm for this particular type of numbering. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne has explained the correct way to do what you are asking for.
I just wanted to add that you *can* insert SEQ fields in the header (or footer), but only with the \c switch which repeats the current SEQ number in the text. In other words, SEQ fields have a use in headers (footers) in much the same way as the STYLEREF field has for outline numbering. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter" wrote in message ...
