Word - Page numbers

Following the training session I have now been entering page breaks and section breaks in a large document however this seems to have thrown out all the page numbers and i cant resolve.

RE: Word - Page numbers

Hi John

It's not easy to know what is causing the page numbers to be thrown out without seeing your document. Perhaps you could send it to info@stl-training.co.uk and ask for the document to be forwarded to Doug.

One possible reason for page numbers at the bottom of the page to go out of sequence is if the 'Link to Previous' option has been turned off in the footer. During the training we showed how to turn this off in the header for each section so that a different text can be typed. But not to do this in the footer where there is page numbering.

Try replying then clicking the upload button to send your document if you want to.

Word tip:

Autonumbering in Word

The Auto Numbering feature in Word can be both useful (when you want it to work) and annoying when you don't.

When you begin a list by typing 1 then press the space bar or tab key, and type in text, Word will automatically change the paragraph to a numbered list when the ENTER key is pressed. This will mean that the next paragraph is automatically numbered as 2.

If you do not want Word to continue sequentially numbering any following paragraphs, you can turn off Auto Numbering. To do this, go to Tools-Auto Correct Options. In the Auto Correct dialog box, click the "Auto Format As You Type" tab. Deselect the "Automatic Numbered Lists" checkbox, then click OK to close the box.

To turn Auto Numbering back on, go back into Tools-AutoCorrect Options and recheck the "Automatic Numbered Lists" option.
