troubleshoting pagination and section breaks
I have a document with three different sections (a thesis
manuscript for a colleauge). The first section has two pages, neither of which should have pagination. The section section has three pages that should be labeled from roman numeral ii (iii and iv). The third section should begin with arabic number 1. I am able to insert section breaks, and to insert headers for the three sections. However, the first and third section are linked somehow. No matter what I do, I can't remove pagination from the first section. For example the first and third section both have page 1 on them. According to every Web site/troubleshooting site for MS Word, this should not be happening due to directions I followed. I even created a new document with placeholder text. The same problem. Can you advise? I am working on a deadline for Friday May 6th. Kind regards, Deborah Poe ) |

No one knows what directions you followed and thus can't have a clue whether
you did anything wrong, but here's how to do what you want: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm You need to use the icons on the header/footer toolbar to turn off "same as previous," or unlink the headers.

If http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm was not one
of the places you look, check it out. I suspect your problem is coming from multiple sections on page. A secondary problem comes from inserting page numbers through the menu command rather than in the header/footer. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

As an alumni of Microsoft, I'm not clear on how this tone or response is
conducive to a customer focused response. In any case, the directions I followed were those in Microsoft Word 's Help. Then I went to various MVP sites but hadn't located this one. Thank you for the link. I will try this and see if it works.

What's an MVP? A volunteer! Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ This is peer-to-peer help, no one is a customer of mine, so no, it wasn't a customer-focused response. I may consider the tone "crisp", you seem to read it as "rude." Well, that's the way newsgroups go. My primary consideration is producing a helpful response.
