no.... help me... please...
Click on “Format” and then “Bullets and Numbering”. Click on the “Outline Numbered” tab and scroll over to the style that has chapters and headings.
If you want to change “Chapter 1” to “Chapter A”, click on the Customize button and scroll down to A,B,C in the Number style box. Click OK.
On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers. Click Format and check the box next to “Include chapter number.” Click the heading style applied to the chapter titles (all the chapter titles have to have the same heading style or this won’t work!) Click OK twice.
Hope this helps
now the pages all say “A”... HOW DO i GET THE “-1, -2”???
How do I get different Chapters to have different letters?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been awhile since I’ve done this... but
“now the pages all say “A”... HOW DO i GET THE “-1, -2”???”
The second part of OT’s answer above, I think.
“How do I get different Chapters to have different letters?”
Section breaks... as LF described. Go where the chapter break is... Insert-Section Break
I feel yer pain bro, but I don’t have the answer.
Okay, do all that, then go back to the section where you want B-1 to start, and do the same thing, unclick the “continue from previous section” option.
Does that do it?
Other than that, I’m back to monks with quill pens...
Well, this is something I’m rusty enough on that I don’t think I can walk you through it. I’d have to be reading my way through menus a bit to figure it out. Are you in an office with a decent secretary who can help hands-on?
Number format should be "1,2,3..."
check the "Include chapter number" box
"Chapter starts with style" Heading 1 (or whatever your heading is for your chapter title.)
To find out what your chapter style is, click on "Chapter A" in your text and look in the font box (next to the underlined AA on the toolbar.) Change "Chapter B", "Chapter C" etc, to the same header type.
To get pages numbered A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, B-2, ect., click the "Start at" radio button. For this to work, you have to put section breaks between chapters. Here's what I found in the Word Help file:
Add chapter numbers to page numbersIf your document contains multiple chapters, you may want to restart page numbering for each chapter — for example, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and 2-1, 2-2, 2-3.
Restart page numbering with 1 for each chapter or section
If you haven't already done so, insert a section break where you want to restart page numbering.
Click where you want to insert a section break.
On the Insert menu, click Break.Under Section break types, click the option that describes where you want the new section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) to begin.
Click in a section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) or select multiple sections in which you want to restart page numbering.
On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
Click Format.
In the Start at box, enter 1.Include chapter numbers along with page numbers
Use the Bullets and Numbering dialog box to format your chapter titles with a built-in heading style.
On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click the Outline Numbered tab.On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.Click a chapter-numbering style (one that includes the text "Heading 1," "Heading 2," and so on), and then click OK.
Type the text you want for the numbered heading, and then press ENTER.
To add the next numbered heading, click the arrow next to the Style box and select the style you want.
If your document is divided into sections, click in a section or select multiple sections in which you want to include chapter numbers along with page numbers.
Click Format.
Select the Include chapter number check box.
In the Chapter starts with style box, click the heading style applied to the chapter titles.
In the Use separator box, click the character that you want to separate the chapter number from the page number.
I’m it...
You have Overtaxed, I think she’s your gal!
Well I got it to work on a fresh document. Things get kinda squirrely (at least for me) when I’m working with an already formatted document.
but the chapters ain’t called “A, B C”... they’re tech proposal, statement of werk, deliverables, etc...
Especially one where someone else did it. g’nad make sure you’ve got the document set to show all the paragraph marks and such... so you can clean up whatever might have been put in there.
I started from scratch and I still can’t get it to werk...
Does it make any difference if you copy and paste the text into an entirely new document? Or is that what you mean by starting from scratch?
OT looks to know a lot more about this than I do. I can troubleshoot Word installation errors and kick it in the pants when it tries to kill your ‘puter, but formatting stuff I’m kinda stoopid on. I remember having some very, very frustrating experiences with page numbers in the past, and that’s as much as I remember. :-\
Have I mentioned I like manual typewriters? OK, so that’s not practical advice... But I do. ‘Cause unlike Word, they don’t have a mind of their own. Urrrrrgh.
Maybe OT can email you the one where she did it to a fresh one.
If you copy from Word to Word you're still going to get all the old formatting.
You can copy it to Notepad and convert it to text, then past that back in a new Word document. (there may be an easier way I don't know of)
That’s an idea.
I was thinkin’ the page numbers weren’t included in the formatting...I don’t think footnotes are, for example. But you’re right, they are, aren’t they?
I’ll go stand in a corner... ;-)
