Page Numbering in Word 2007
I can not format my numbering to save my life. I am so frustrated. I want
to insert a page number footer, but every time it won't put the numbers in sequence. It will just show "1". I read around at other posts already and it was suggested to delete the building blocks file. I did this and it still doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.

Well, I can see my previous reply in this thread, which says, "Are you using
Insert | Page Number?" In other words, are you actually inserting a PAGE field or just typing a number? -- Suzanne S.

Page Numbering in Word 2007
That is so odd Suzanne, the post is not available for me. It does not show
it at all, like it does not exist. To answer your question, yes I did Insert-Page Number. It numbers the first page and second page fine, but then the third page is numbered 2 and the fourth page is number 2 and so on. When I go ahead to page 3, I tried changing the page number from 2 to 3, but every page after page 1 changes with it. I am so confused. "Suzanne S.

Clearly your document has more than one section. Either you have (or someone
has) inserted 2 as a plain number in the header/footer of the second section, or there are multiple sections with renumbering starting at 2. The first hypothesis is the more likely.

Okay I think I got it figured out. After reading through that link you
posted, I have a much greater understanding of how the numbering works. Thank you so much for your help. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Clearly your document has more than one section.

Thank Bill Coan for writing the article. Also, once you get into page
numbers and sections, you may want to look at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for more insight into how headers and footers work. -- Suzanne S.
