Section and Page numbering?
I am using Word 2003.
I have a 50 page document split up into 5 sections. I would like to have the Section and Section page number at the top in the header. I would also like to have the Present page number and total of pages in the footer. For example: HEADER Section: 3 p. 1 Code: Section: {SECTION \* MERGEFORMAT} p. {PAGE} FOOTER: Page 23 of 50 Code: Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} My section pages are working fine using {SECTION \* MERGEFORMAT}. My page numbers for the header and footer seem to be connected. Both header and foot are not link to the previous header or footer and should be independent. When I change the {PAGE} in the header or footer from (continue from previous) to (start at) both the header and footer change. I want the header {PAGE} to be set to (start at) and the footer {PAGE} to be set to (continue from previous). How do I unlink the header and footer {PAGE} code? Thanks in advance. Jeff |

Chad's answer in the other thread is simpler than using SEQ fields.
wrote in message ... Short Answer: you don't! The {Page} field is a field, not a formatting feature. Unlinking from "same as previous" only allows you to have different formats for each section footer. There is a usefull areticle in the Knowledge base on doing exactly what you want. It involves using hidden seq fields to keep count of the page numbers. If you cannot find it send me an email and I will send you th reference (cant do it now as the doc is in my file at home) -----Original Message----- I am using Word 2003.
