Re: Page Field not restarting after Section break

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


It is not necessary to unlink headers or footers to restart page numbering or change the page number format (only to remove the page number field entirely or change other content of the header/footer). What you do have to do, however, is choose "Start at 1" in the Page Number Format dialog for each section.

I am using Word 2007 on Windows XP, SP3.

I have a 100+ page document, broken up into 9 sections (2 of which are the
title page and the TOC). All of the headers and footers throughout sections
3-9 (the body of the document) are linked. In all cases except section 9,
the Page field restarts the page numbering on page 1 of a new section. At
section 9, however, the page numbering continues from section 8.

I have verified that section 8 ends with a Section Break (Next Page), as is
the case with all other section breaks in the body of the document. I
actually tried with "Link to Previous" both selected and not selected, and
the pagination in section 9 continues from section 8 either way (i.e., it
never starts over).

Can anyone suggest how to restart the pagination in section 9?

Thanks in advance,

Tim Munyon
