pagination troubleshooting with multiple sections
I am also having a problem inserting section breaks and getting the
pagination to work correctly. There are three sections for my document--the first should have no numbering on it, the second should be numbered (ii, iii, iv), and the third should begin again with 1. I have followed the instructions from the recommended web site http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm. However, for some reason it seems to be linking my first and third sections (displaying both with Arabic numbers), even though the first section should have no numbers. And I haven't inserted anything into the Header and Footer in that section. The numbers just appear there. However, if I delete the numbering from the first section, it also deletes the numbering from the second section as well. It seems to defy any explanation. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm about to just insert numbers into the text itself to get around this problem. |

See also this page--by default, headers/footers are linked to the previous
section and it sounds like you need to break the links. (it is possible to change the format without breaking the links) http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm On 5/5/05 2:20 PM, "Katy D'Angelo" wrote: I am also having a problem inserting section breaks and getting the pagination to work correctly.

I tried this. It still isn't working. That first section is just killing me.

Hmm. For what you want (I think), you actually only need
First Page Footer (with no number) (this is just one page, right?) Section 1 Footer (with ii, iii, etc--you did want it to start with ii, right?) Section 2 Footer (with arabic numbers). Try deleting all your section breaks (they will show up in Normal View to be selected and deleted). View Header/Footer and delete everything in it--if the number has a gray box around it (a frame), make sure you delete the frame too. Reinsert your section break between the roman and arabic numbers. With cursor in Section 1, go to File | Page Setup, Layout tab, and turn on "first page header". Set to apply to "this section only." View Header/Footer. Move the cursor to the area labeled Section 1 Footer, and hit # on the header/footer toolbar, then hit Format Page Number on the header/footer toolbar (icon with hand and #). Set it to ii, iii. Move cursor to Section 2 Footer. Hit Format Page Number, set as desired. If something does not work, post back at exactly what step it went wrong.

I will try this when I get home. The only thing is, my first section is
actually two pages. Niether of them is supposed to have pagination. Yet, the first page of the section section is numbered ii (as though that 2nd page in the first section isn't counted in the numbered order). It's really quite annoying, but that is what's required.

Okay, skip the bits about the first page header. Still delete all section
breaks and re-enter them. You will need to unlink the first and second section--put cursor in second section, click the same as previous icon on the header/footer toolbar. Then put a page number in the second section, use the Format Page Number button on the header/footer toolbar to change the format. Then with cursor in the third section, use the Format Page Number button on the header/footer toolbar to change the format.

Follow up--do you have any other section breaks beside Next Page Section
Breaks in here? Like columns or anything? On 5/5/05 5:27 PM, "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: Okay, skip the bits about the first page header. Still delete all section breaks and re-enter them.

No, I don't have any other section breaks beside Next Page. I've got section
2 and 3 working, with the separate roman numerals and Arabic numbers. Section 1 is still not working. I've unlinked the footer from section 2 (numbers are centered in the footer), but for some reason section 1 is now appearing in roman numerals. The first page has no pagination, but the second page reads iii. I just do not understand why.

Just delete the page field on the second page; if you've unlinked sections 1
and 2, this should have no effect on section 2. Also, if you have a page number on the second page and not on the first, this is probably because you have enabled "Different first page," which, as Daiya now realizes, is of no value here (and not necessary). -- Suzanne S.
