Chapter numbering without sections
I am using Word 2002 in Windows XP. I divided a long document into separate
chapters. In each chapter, I used page numbering to insert a number on the right-hand bottom corner. Then, I manually inserted the chapter number in front of the page number field. Of course, the table of contents for the chapter does not show the chapter number. Word help indicates that I must use section breaks to delineate the chapter numbers. However, I would like to minimize section breaks, and find Word's instructions to executing this to be very confusing at best. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks |

No, you don't need section breaks, and they won't even help. What you do
have to have is outline-numbered chapters. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm -- Suzanne S.

Yes, beceause they are not part of Word's page number (that way). Provided that your chapters are numbered through the built-in default heading styles ("Heading 1", "Heading 2", ...), then your path lies in Insert | Page Numbers | Format: Include chapter number. You usually leave from there with OK and then CLOSE, bec. it's undesirable to leave the outer dialogue with OK (which inserts the page numbers in a frame instead of in the normal header or footer area), but we'll leave that aside for the moment. Of course, there are also good reasons not to "folio per chapter" in the first place, but hey, you asked for it ... :-) Word help indicates that I must use section breaks to delineate the chapter numbers. If that's so, that's wrong! However, I would like to minimize section breaks, and find Word's instructions to executing this to be very confusing at best. You are not alone!
