Re: OT: Word 2010 Page Numbering Help Needed
I tried for many,many hours to make this work some years ago. Eventually, I gave up and accepted that my TOC first line would read Table of contents..1 AFAIK, MS never fixed it. -- No fixed Adobe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
OT: Word 2010 Page Numbering Help Needed
I'm working on my last paper to finish my MA. What I need: First page is the cover page. No page number. Second page is the TOC. No page number. Third page should begin numbering at 1 and continue through to the end. What I've done so far: I've divided the doc into 2 sections, with the body of the document beginning after the TOC. The problem. If I remove page numbers from section 1, then a page number appears only on the first page of the body of the document. (The TOC calculates correctly.) If I duplicate page 1 page number from the header onto the page 2 header, then it replicates on the subsequent pages. But it also adds page numbers to the headers in section 1 (cover sheet TOC). One solution ... is to do it manually. But what a waste of time. Anyone know how to do this properly?

Sadly, yes Sadly because the way to do it properly is to use a page layout program like InDesign or Quark Xpress for this kind of thing :( I don't know for a fact that it *can't* be done in MS Word but I'm not hopeful about it. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: OT: Word 2010 Page Numbering Help Needed
Collin, I cannot offer you a completely elegant solution, but here is a solution that hopefully will allow what you need while doing automatic page numbering. 1. If your TOC is only one page, create 3 different sections: Title, TOC, and the body. (If it is more than 1 page, - you can try to repeat this hack - to have a section per page, - but I am not sure if that will break the TOC integrity). 2. When in the footer/header design tab for Title and TOC (each separately) - check makr Different First Page. This will prevent page number showing there. 3. This way you can have page numbers only in you body section. Alternative solutions: For your TOC you can have a different page numbering (i, ii, iii).. You can configure that via Page Number - Format Page Numbers - Number Format. Take a look at the Word templates here under Recommended template file: http://ogs.tamu.edu/current-students/thesis-dissertation/prepare-your-document/word-processing-template-files/ (I looked at the one for PC) HTH, Igor Sat Oct 27 11:19:14 EDT 2012 Collin Brendemuehl wrote: I'm working on my last paper to finish my MA.

One solution ... is to do it manually. But what a waste of time. Anyone know how to do this properly? I know it can be done, because I had to do it myself once-upon-a-time. I think you will have to have 3 sections - one for the cover page, one for the TOC and one for the body, so that each can have a unique page numbering format. I also remember something about having to insert a break between sections in order to get them to number separately, and that break was something in addition to dividing the document into sections. I was using Office 2003.
