Prior to inserting the 2 column sections, the page numbering worked fine and pulled into our TOC when we updated fields. But the problem we have now that has not been resolved: The page numbering starts over after each new section with page 2. The footers are linked to the Previous Section, but I’ve noticed that when you enter a Section Break, the Footer section #s are not staying sequential; they are jumping from say 3 to 5 or from 8 to 13 for no obvious reason. When codes are visible, there are no extra section break codes found to account for the jump by 4 sections?

If #13 is linked to the previous section, is it looking for #12 that does not appear to exist, instead of #8 which is the last visible section?

I’ve read that you can select under Advanced Options a different “like” mode for compatability going to a 2003 or 97 version to mimic the older versions?

Making tables instead of columns was suggested, but this does not visually read the way needed.

I have written a long document in word 2007. There are some tables in excel 2007. There is introductory part in the document. I want to have table of contents for these documents in the following manner
Table of contents
Introductory Part A ……….i
Introductory Part A ……….ii
Main document word ………..1
Main document word ………..2
main document excel………..3
Main document word ………..4
Main document word ………..5

I used page break & could started the numbering form 1 after i,ii,iii series. But in table of contents the page number displays from 1 & not i,ii,iii

How can I create table of content? How can I include excel topic & page number in TOC

I just completed an “advanced” Word course, and the instructor couldn’t answer the following question – so I’m hoping someone here has the solution!

In a large document, we have used section breaks to divide into different sections. We want to have each different section number “X of Y” with Y being the number of pages in that section. My solution has been to restart “X” numbering from “1″, and then manually override “Y” (which keeps showing the total number of pages in the document), by just typing in the actual number of pages in that section. It works great – but would be easier to have it all automatic!

Is there anyway we can get Word to automatically generate “Y” for a specific section only?

Thanks!
