MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / March 2004Page numbers skip horribly
Help please!My 50 page doc goes from numbering pages 1 to 21, then page 13, 14, etc. (There is a continuous section break before a column change.) THEN, when I gave up trying to fix that I changed header data on the first page, and that page number changed from "one" to "13", etc. What is going on? Go to the first section where the numbering is messed up and click o the "format numbering" button on the header/footer toolbar. Make sur there is a check in front of "continue from previous section." I've had this problem before, and usually that fixes it, but section are strange creatures sometimes, especially when combined wit headers/footers I finally solved my problem. It took 2 days before my techie son had me save the doc in Rich Text Format. It erased all of my footers, and messed up the graphic figures, and of course, needed reformatting on columns and breaks, but that was a small price to pay...my page numbers finally worked! I saved the RTF back into Word, and rebuilt the formatting. But I had a perfectly clean document again. I finished it yesterday, without one MS Word glich. Hooray! Wish I had simply started over in the beginning, instead of wasting so much time. >-----Original Message----- > >Go to the first section where the numbering is messed up and click on >the "format numbering" button on the header/footer toolbar.

You could have accomplished the same thing by deleting all the section breaks and reinserting them. -- Suzanne S.
