How to sort out page numbering in a word doc (I know!)
June 8, 2010 1:02 PM   Subscribe

I have a Word 2007 document. It has 2 sections. I want page numbering to start in section 2 at page 1. No page numbering in Section 1. Obviously I've done what I should do, ie clicked in section 2, set up page numbering to start at p 1. And it does. But section 1 gets page numbering too. Delete that and section 2's numbering goes too. Help!

I'm embarassed as I'm a professional proofreader but I can't make this darned thing work. What am I missing? I have checked word help, online microsoft help, google, nothing works!

When you have the header/footer bar open have you unchecked the toggle that links header/footer to previous section header/footer?

Response by poster: Perplexity - yes, that is unchecked. Do I need to take the numbers off and put them on again to get the effect?

Response by poster: Ahem. Gosh how embarassing - it's worked this time when I deleted the first set of numbers. Thank you !
