Re: Headers and Page Numbers Word 2007

Thanks Macropod for your help but unsuccessful Im afraid

I can successfully place the Field code but it refuses to behave in that
will not increment the numbers.
It will also not alternate on Left /Right side of the page.
I have tried putting the field code in a text box and anchoring it to the L
or R side of the page with no success.
Additionally because there is already existing headers which change at each
section,
When I use Edit header/ Page number it places the number against the
existing centralised header and the only way I can space it to the Left or
right is by using Tabs or Spaces. This throws out the header. (hence the
attempt at text boxes)
The document is for publication in hard cover so I am very resricted in what
I can do with the page numbers. I have to conform to my publishers format.
Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

Sam

Hi Sammy,

The simplest method for getting the page number where you want it to go is
to:
. go into the header,
. position the cursor where the page number should appear,
. press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{}'),
. type 'PAGE' between the field braces (ie '{PAGE}'), then
. press F9 to update the field.
Once you've done that, use Word's page number formatting tools to set the
starting #.

Hi

I have a 500 page document divided into multiple files. Each file has its
own multiple sections separated by section breaks (next page).
I simply cannot get the page numbering to work.
I insert the headers which correctly change at each section
This works fine
I then try to insert the page number starting from(say) 289
The page numbers should be at the top and outside of the page so
different for Even and Odd pages
Word 2007 either puts the page number up either against my centralised
header or on the left of the page or just as a number that doesnt
increment.
Sometimes it puts it in a text box and sometimes it doesn't
I must be doing something wrong. Is there a definitive set of
instructions somewhere?

Many thanks

Sam
