MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / April 2007Numbering Issues
I was brought a document to get the proper numbers on each page. When ever I go to start a new section it continues off the old numbering. I can't get it to change this. I am currently at 117(j). I need to go 118(a-i). If I go to the next page and put 118 in, it puts it all through the 117's. I have a 124 pages to fix, and section 118, I can hopefully get this fixed as I think it is the same issue through the whole document.. Thanks in advance. While it is not necessary to unlink headers/footers to change the number format or restart numbering, it is necessary if you want to change anything else about the header/footer. This would include omitting the number entirely (a common request) as well as adding a letter of some sort to the number, which appears to be what you're doing.  SignatureSuzanne S.

I guess I can't figure out how the original author numbered it or formatted the headers or footers, but the document has to fit a certain format, and cannot be altered... I have it corrected up until the 117(j), but it was also the first part of the document with subsections. Any ideas or help would be appreciated..

View | Header and Footer in the appropriate section and click the "Link to Previous" or "Same as Previous" button on the Header and Footer toolbar to unlink the header/footer from the previous section. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. It sounds, though, as if your issue is with the numbering itself. Click the Format Page Number button on the H&F toolbar and make sure the numbering is set to "Continue from previous section." Also, if you're actually seeing 118 on every page, make sure that what you have is a PAGE field and not just plain text. SignatureSuzanne S.

I went and checked the"continue from a previous section, and it throws my numbers off even worse. Is there anyway I can delete all numbering format and start over? Any more suggestions to try?

Thanks in >> >> advance. If the numbering is up to 117 in the previous section, it should start with 118 in the current section, but you can go back to Section 1 and make sure that each subsequent section has "Continue from previous section" selected. Use the Show Next button on the H&F toolbar to advance from section to section and use Format Page Number in each one. SignatureSuzanne S.
