MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2004Page Numbers and Sections
Recently upgraded from v 2000 to v 2003. In prior version, I had a mail merge set up to link with data from excel. In the footer I have a page number with the intent that when merged, 34 pages are created and the page numbers go from 1-34. In the new version (2003), the page number is 1 on each of the 34 pages, I assume because a new section is created for each page. Aside from going into each of the 34 pages header/footer menu and clicking on the link to previous, is there any way to get the pages to number properly (1-34)? TIA Christina I don't think this behaviour has changed. Use a { SECTION } field instead of a { PAGE } field to get the numbers of each "page" or if you have a field in your data source with the numbers in it, use that.

What I'm confused about is that I haven't changed anything in the document since switching versions, so what worked fine in 2000 has changed (in my document) in 2003. Where are the section fields you mention? As the number I used in the footer was from the header/footer page number formatting. Thanks again. Christina >I don't think this behaviour has changed.

No section breaks are inserted into a catalog merge. You may need to add a manual page break at the end of the main merge document, though. > Recently upgraded from v 2000 to v 2003. > In prior version, I had a mail merge set up to link with data from excel.
