MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / November 2005Page numbering for master document
I have a master document with about 10 subdocument. When I wanted to print it out, I couldn't figure out how to have the page numbeing run consecutively starting from the first page of chapter 1 thru the final page of the document. The on-disk help was useless. This shouldn't be so difficult. Can anyone explain how this is done? Thanks. Word Heretic might come along and help you out, but most of the people posting here don¹t know much about master documents, because: Why Master Documents corrupt: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm How to recover a Master Document: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm Steve Hudson [Word Heretic] on how to make Master Documents work safely (this might contain the answer to your question): http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/magazine/technical/wordhomepage.html You might also check these links for potential workarounds: Creating a Table of Contents Spanning Multiple Documents http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=148 See the ³Number Pages Across Files² section at this link: http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MiscFram.htm IncludeText Fields can partially substitute for the Master Document featurefor an introduction to them, see here: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/includetextfields.htm Word experts generally advise combining long documents into one file, if possible, and you will find more information on controlling those big files here: http://daiya.mvps.org/bookword.htm > I have a master document with about 10 subdocument.
