Page numbers all the same
I am using Word 2007 to produce documents with uniform formating. A template
was created for me with line art and line numbering down the left side. A header includes the page number and the document title. A footer contains the same line of text on every page. The template was created using Word 2003. When I open the template with 2007 the page numbering is page 1 on every page. When I change it on page 2, the line art and numbering down the side disappear. What is happening? I have tried working in compatability mode and the same thing happens. |

Page numbers all the same
Whoever created the template for you (doubtless a designer with no actual
knowledge of how Word works) presumably just typed in a page number instead of inserting a { PAGE } field (you can confirm this by pressing Alt+F9; if you still see 1 instead of { PAGE }, then it's a typed number). If you then try to insert a page number as a building block, that Page Number building block replaces the existing header. You have two options: 1. Use Insert | Page Number | Current Position to insert just the page number at a designated place in the header. 2. Select the existing page number and type PAGE to replace it. Then select PAGE and press Ctrl+F9 to convert it to a field and F9 to update. -- Suzanne S.
