Page Numbering and Headers-Footers Through Section Breaks
Sorry, I'm sure this answer is here somewhere, but can't see the forest for
the trees anymore. Have a 100-plus-page document, created with a 2007 template, which was then saved for compatibility with '03. First and foremost, I'm trying to maintain page numbering throughout the many section breaks, that is, not having it start back at "1" at the beginning of each section. I also want to maintain the same header and footer throughout. I'll put my dunce cap on now, thanks. |

Page Numbering and Headers-Footers Through Section Breaks
You say it was created with 2007, but then saved for compatibility with 2003.
Which are you using to adjust the page numbers -- 2003 or 2007? If you're using 2003, you need to open the footer, START IN THE LAST SECTION, and link each header and footer to the previous one. If you're using 2007, somebody else will need to answer your question. Sorry. Fred "Office User" wrote: Sorry, I'm sure this answer is here somewhere, but can't see the forest for the trees anymore.

Page Numbering and Headers-Footers Through Section Breaks
Thanks - using 2003 on this. Tried what you described but not sure I am doing
it correctly. When I click "link to previous" nothing happens, even though it asks if I was to "delete this header/foot and connect to previous section."

Page Numbering and Headers-Footers Through Section Breaks
"Link to Previous" is a red herring in this instance, since you don't have
to unlink sections to restart numbering, nor do you have to lnk them to make the numbering continuous. What you have to do is use Format Page Number, in each section, to change from "Start at 1" to "Continue from previous section." In Word 2003, you'll find a Format Page Number button on the Header & Footer toolbar. -- Suzanne S.

Page Numbering and Headers-Footers Through Section Breaks
Suzanne,
Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. I customized the header/footer toolbar to show the format page number button, and selected "Continue from pervious section." Here are the problems I encoutered: 1. My document's first page (a cover) does not have a number, so the document's second page is my "Page 1" -- this is exactly the way I want it. However, when I open the header/footer view and select "continue from previous section," this changed - whatever I type on the document's third page (or "page 2"), shows up on the document's first page (it's cover). 2. When I do try to type a page number, it does not automatically follow the format of the previous section's numbering, i.e., "Page 1, 2, 3, etc.," Attempted to learn about and then execute a macro (as suggested in one of the posts on this site), but no joy. Any help would be appreciated. Best, Ray "Suzanne S.

Page Numbering and Headers-Footers Through Section Breaks
You shouldn't have had to customize the Header & Footer toolbar to add the
Format Page Number button, which is there by default. If you don't want a number on your cover page, you can start numbering at 0 (enabling "Different first page" and leaving the First Page Header/Footer blank), or you can insert a section break and restart numbering in Section 2. In every section after that, you will need to use "Continue from previous section." For more on the use of headers and footers and page numbering, see these articles: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thank you, I'm sure once I go through these articles I will find my solution.
