Page Numbering Troubles
I'm having some difficulties with page numbers in Word. I'm working on a
document that consists of a coverpage (it just contains instructions; it does not have a header/footer and shouldn't be assigned a page number because it is not supposed to be printed) and the body of the document which does include some continuous section breaks to protect only certain parts of the document. When using the 'Page x of y' format in the footer of the document, Word manages to number all the pages correctly (starting at 1 on the first page of the body of the document) until it reaches the last page which is will always number '2 of y'. I've tried just using the 'Page #' format instead but it will still be labeled page 2. This is a protected documet used as a checklist by others and they will be unable to edit the footer to manually write in the correct page number so I need to figure out how to get it to work correctly. Any suggestions? |

Page Numbering Troubles
Note that the page numbering options are section-specific.
Unprotect the document and then, for each section, look at the Page Number Format dialog box. To have continuous page numbering, you would want the "Continue from previous section" to be selected. The likely culprit in this case is a continuous section which is limited to part of a page, so that it has no visible header or footer, is resetting the numbering. To access such a section, you can temporarily insert a page break so that you can access the header/footer area. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ahosenfeld" wrote in message ...
