MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / November 2007Custom Page number behaviour change between word 2003 and 2007
Dear All, I use since years a custom page numbering including the chapter number bind to heading 2 level. Each of my file represent a chapter (heading 1) followed by a toc then a page break an the first heading 2. In word 2003 and earlier, even if the heading 2 was on the second or third page, the numbering was correct on the first page ( ie. 1.1-1 ). Now in word 2007 if the first page doesn't include the heading 2 level, the numbering looks like 1-1 iso 1.1-1. How do I get the old format back as I use this format for document that have to be formatted this way the the Civil Aviation Authorities. Thank you for your answer -- Amedee This seems to be the behavior of Word 2007; I don't know of a work-around, unfortunately.  SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > Dear All, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > -- > Amedee Hi stefan, Sad news. So this mean, that it might be considered as a word2007 bug ? As the section based structure is not respected anymore. Should I then revert to word 2003?

It does for me. SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP > Hi stefan, > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >> > -- >> > Amedee Hi Doug, Thank you for your kind answer. Yes, I'm positive my heading is linked to the appropriate style. As I open the same file under word2003 the page numbering is correct ie: page1 page number format 1.1-1 (linked to heading 2 (1.1)) heading1 table of content page break page2 page number format 1.1-2 heading2 (1.1) body text section break next page page3 page number fomat 1.2-1 heading2 (1.2) body text etc.. in Word 2007 I have the following: page1 page number format 1-1 iso 1.1-1(linked to heading 2 (1.1)) heading1 table of content page break page2 page number format 1.1-2 heading2 (1.1) body text section break next page page3 page number fomat 1.2-1 heading2 (1.2) body text etc.. it's very very strange. Would it be something to do with the template ?

Do you perhaps have a Different First Page Header or Footer set up with the format of the page number in that storyrange set up differently from that in the balance of the document? It appears that the numbering on the first page is linked to the Heading 1 style rather than the Heading 2 style. I realise that does not answer the question of why the two versions behave differently. SignatureHope this helps.

Doug Robbins - Word MVP > Hi Doug, > [quoted text clipped - 86 lines] >> >> > -- >> >> > Amedee Dear Doug, I tried myself, creating a template from a blank word 2007 and curiously the numbering came back to normal. The problem only happen when I use a word97-2003 template. Should be something to do with an incompatibility between the template formats. I'm now in the process of remaking all my templates under word2007 format. Thank you very much for the attention you show about my problem and your help. It helped me to solve my problem. Thank you again.
