Re: Custom Page number behaviour change between word 2003 and 2007

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I no longer have the ability to create a document with such numbering in
Word 2003 and then move it to 2007 to see if the result is the same, but I
had no problem setting up a document with that numbering and getting the
1.1-1 on the first page when a paragraph formatted with heading 2 was not
located on the first page.

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.

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 ?

Are you sure that your Heading Levels are linked to the appropriate

If that is the case, that format of numbering should work. It does for
me.

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?

Best regards,

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
