Continue numbering from previous section, Word 2007
Is there an easy way to default to continue numbering when i add a new
section? Since that is the option that I would use most, I would prefer that to starting at page 1 on each new section and then I have to re-format the number to continue from previous. |

I'm not sure what you want because what you wrote is a little ambiguous. But
if you want to start each section with page 1, instead of inserting the { PAGE } field, use the { SECTIONPAGES } field. The { PAGE } field will be continuous by default . -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "stickcc" wrote in message ... Is there an easy way to default to continue numbering when i add a new section?

Continue numbering from previous section, Word 2007
Sorry - guess I thought everyone could read my mind.
I want each section to continue numbering not start at 1 at the beginning of each section. My document uses the {PAGE} field but when I add a section break, new page, it starts over at 1. Hope that makes sense. "Terry Farrell" wrote: I'm not sure what you want because what you wrote is a little ambiguous.

Continue numbering from previous section, Word 2007
Word replicates the header/footer settings of the previous header in the new
one. I'm guessing that you are creating documents with front matter sections and are restarting the page numbers for the main text at 1. All new sections thereafter will also start page numbers at 1. What I do is try to remember to set the page numbers in the first new section to continuous. Later ones will then also be continuous.

I understand now... you were using 'think-speak'! I believe Pamelia has hit
the answer. If you are using a different front page and have reset the next section to start at Page 1, then the reset is being propagated all the way. Instead, set the page number field to { = { PAGE } - x } where x equals the number of pages in the front matter. If you need to automate this, you can add the SECTIONPAGES field to the first (un-numbered) section, bookmark it and then subtract the Bookmark result. Terry "stickcc" wrote in message ...

Continue numbering from previous section, Word 2007
I am using the formula you described. I have a cover sheet with no page
number, then I have about 9 pages of front matter which has several sections in that and uses page i , page ii, page iii, etc., and then I start my page numbering on page 1 and use the formula to subtract the number of pages in the front matter from the total number of pages in the document. Sometimes I need to adjust that number according to the length of the TOC and TOF I have. I'm not sure I understand which section to set as continuous and not sure how to do that. Since the main document has a different footer, it isn't Same as Previous, but I've used Same as Previous in all the following sections. I really appreciate both of your help as I created a template so other people are trying to deal with this problem and I would like to fix it for them.

Okay, let's say you have a section of front matter and then umpteen other
sections of regular text. If you already have these sections, then it's too late. The trick is this: you insert a section break between the front matter (Section 1, for the sake of example) and the main document (Section 2) and set the numbering to restart at 1. Then you insert a section break to create Section 3 and set the numbering to Continuous in that section. When you then add Sections 4, 5, 6, etc., they will be Continuous. But if those sections already exist, then you'll have to set the page format in each one separately. Note that "Same as Previous"/"Link to Previous" has no effect on numbering. You can restart numbering without unlinking sections, and you can link sections without affecting restarted numbering. Sorry! -- Suzanne S.

If the ToC is part of the 'following matter', the size of the ToC is
irrelevant as the page number will dynamically adjust to the length of the ToC. However, if the ToC is pre-following matter, then put it in its own section with a bookmarked SECTIONPAGES field, add the two bookmark results and subtract from the page numbers.

Thanks to all of you. Guess I will have to figure out a way to work around
this issue for the template. "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Word replicates the header/footer settings of the previous header in the new one.
