Page numbering for individual sections
Hi,
I hv e a document with a number of sections in it but each section requires its own 'page of pages' numbering starting at page 1 and ending in the last page number for that section only. Can someone help me find a way around the 'pages' number being the total number of pages in the document? Im using office 2007 and saving in 2003 compatability. kind regards -- Gill

Hi Gill,
Use a SECTIONPAGES field instead of the usual NUMPAGES field. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Gill" wrote in message ...

Page numbering for individual sections
I still can't get the numbering to work, even though I clearly have the
following: Section 1--no numbering; that part is okay. Section 2--roman. Previous/Next Section is turned off. The first page in section 1 is ii and I cannot get it to read as "i" no matter how many times I (a) make sure I have sections, (2) select page number start at 1 (3) use SECTIONPAGES instead of PAGE, (4) Use Field Codes instead, etc. HELP!

Page numbering for individual sections
Hi Writer0101,
Try: .. Press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{}') .. Type 'SECTIONPAGES \* Roman' between the field braces so that you end up with '{SECTIONPAGES \* Roman}' .. Select the field and press F9 to update it. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Writer0101" wrote in message ...

Page numbering for individual sections
Your problem is in using SectionPages instead of Page. The advice to use
SectionPages (instead of NumPages) has to do with Page X of Y. Just use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert an ordinary PAGE field. FWIW, (4) makes no sense, since both SectionPages and Page are field codes. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Writer0101" wrote in message ...

Page numbering for individual sections
Suzanne,
I wish it was that easy since I had already tried that several times. The solution was for a colleague to open the document in Word 2003 where he solved the numbering problem. Word still insisted on putting in 2 blank pages when we only wanted one to force the Contents to ge on the right page, but, since we are deliverying a PDF, I deleted the second blank page (which had no page number on it) and we are good to go, although no wiser as to what is going on.
