PAGE NUMBER ISSUE
XP/2003
I am inserting page numbers in a document. These begin are in the third section of the document. I select page numbers from the Insert menu, and in the Page Numbers dialog box the "Show Number on the First Page" box is NOT selected. Nevertheless page 1 of the section shows and prints "1." -- William |

PAGE NUMBER ISSUE
Activate the header/footer area. Then select and delete the page number from
the first page header (or footer). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "William" wrote in message ... XP/2003 I am inserting page numbers in a document.

PAGE NUMBER ISSUE
Stefan,
Thanks for responding. I am embarrassed that I misrepresented the issue. I originally said, The Show Number on the First Page" box is NOT selected. Nevertheless page 1 of the section shows and prints "1." The problem is exactly the opposite. The "Show Number on the First Pate" box IS selected, but the number one does not appear on that first page. Numbers 2-64 are there, but not number 1. I'm stuck because the Show Number box is checked but the number is not showing. William the dyslexic -- William "Stefan Blom" wrote: Activate the header/footer area.

PAGE NUMBER ISSUE
If you've enabled "Different first page," then you've taken matters into
your own hands and overridden Word's automatic numbering. You'll need to insert the page number in the First Page Header/Footer manually (using the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar). This is actually the preferable way to insert page numbers in any but the simplest document, anyway. -- Suzanne S.
