Word automatically renumbers a saved file?
I have a main document that contains a number list. After I bring in the data
source and finishing the merge I save the document as a .docx. What I'm finding is if I need to reopen the saved file Word automatically numbers the entire file. Example: on the initial merge my document has a number list of 1-9. I merge, print and save the document. Next time I come in I don't have individual pages numbered 1-9, but individual pages where the numbering value starts at 1 and keeps going. |

Word automatically renumbers a saved file?
This appears to be another of the anomalies between the file formats of Word
2007 and earlier versions. If you save the merged document as Word 97-2003 format, this problem shouldn't arise. An alternative is to merge to individual files - http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Golfit wrote: I have a main document that contains a number list.

Thank you! Of course it wasn't the answer I wanted to hear (seems silly they
would have programmed it this way), but at least I can stop searching. "Graham Mayor" wrote: This appears to be another of the anomalies between the file formats of Word 2007 and earlier versions.
