Microsoft Word - page number help!

Ivrytwr3

OK, i am working in Word at the minute and am having a nightmare with page numbers!!!

The pages go 1, 2, 3 and 4, no problems there. But when i number my annexes:

A1 - 1
A1 - 2
A1 - 3
A1 - 4

Each Annex comes out A1 - 1 (or whatever i change the last digit too).

How can i make the annex numbers run in sequence?!

I've always found page numbering in Word a bit nightmarish. You have to get the page and section breaks right. However I don't really understand the problem as described.

I have an 8 page document

Pages 1 - 4 are numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4

The remaining pages should be numbered:

A1 - 1
A1 - 2
A1 - 3
A1 - 4

but the last four pages kepp coming out as A1 - 1

Better? Or still still clear as mud?! lol!

Entirely clear thanks. My guess is your annex needs to be a new section. Then you you have to insert page numbers to include the Chapter number. You would have to add the Chapter name such as Annex 1 and give it a heading format and I imagine you can than get it show as Annex 1 - 1 etc. Haven't tried it myself though.

In the footer have the A1 as part of the footer and then start the page numbers. This should work fine.

Personally I would have either kept the numbers going to 8 or switched i,ii,ii etc

This Google search gets many of the pages I would suggest you read!

ah! WHen you click on the header and footer:

On the first 4 pages you get "footer section 1"
And on the Annexes "footer section 2"

Cool, how the !!!! do you edit different footers!?!

argh!!! When i click format, bullets and numbering, numbered. It automatically adds a "1" to each of the remaining 4 pages; the numbers do not run 1 - 4.

Why?!!!

Done!!! What i did wasn't exactly correct, but it worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
