I have a large document (500 pages) with approx 8 chapters that are set up
with a table of contents and references, tables, figures set up in order by the 'Insert', 'References' As I don't need to update all chapters when I reissue this document is it possible to make each chapter as a separate Worddocument and force Word to number the sections according to how they will ultimately appear in the final document....i.e in the same way that you choose the number of the first page of a document. Many thanks for any advice |

Hi Mandley D,
Yes, that is possible, but why not simply re-issue the changed chapters? You should be able to reprint just those pages. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Mandley D" wrote in message ...

I want to be able to update the individual chapters and control the document
as a series of separate chapters. Issue is when I cut and paste the chapters into separate Word documents the section headers and captions become 1 by default. if you you describe how I can force the numbering to reflect the number in the whole document, i.e Chapter 4, with the headers and captions being 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc I'd be grateful.

Hi Mandley,
You can force the Chapter numbering to start from whatever number you want by setting the 'start from' attribute of the relevant Heading Style's numbering scheme, via Format|Style|Modify|Format|NumberingOutline NumberedCustomiseStart At. In word's Help file, see:'Insert the chapter number and title in a header or footer'. Also see: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...gExplained.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313288 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290953 -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Mandley D" wrote in message ...
