With the help of MVPs, I successfully "fixed" list and header numbering
in previous versions of Word using some VBA.
We recently upgraded to XP - and I have returned to template making
after a while.

I'm trying to cross ref multiple citations (as in [1,2,3]) from a
numbered bibliography list with the item's number in square brackets
format. It works fine for single citations (like [1] or [2]) but as the
cross-ref field brings out the item number complete with the brackets I

How do I get page numbering to start from the 5th (say) page in a document?
If it is achieved by using Section Breaks, will having any subsequent

I have had endless problems with Word's use of Numbering Systems.

with Chapter 1 beginning on page 5 (say); Chapter 2 beginning on ...

I am using standard heading styles in Word XP.  Somehow the TOC is missing
one entry (the next to last).  I have tried deleting the heading text (and
adjacent lines) and re-typing it, and then making it a heading again, but it
does not work.

I've got a VB.Net application that builds a report in RTF format for viewing
in word. The report is broken down into sections, with Headers, footers etc.
I have page numbering turned on in certain sections of the report and a TOC
field definition in the report as well. My client ...

How do I get a TOC reflect changes after I've restarted page numbering within
a footer?

Im in Word 2003 and I have got a document that has an index that needs to
