Seperate the multiple chapters in one file with section breaks:

Insert ---> Break

I usually do section breaks 'starting next page' because of the markups we have to do in the headers and footers. Haven't played around with page numbers like that. I use the Help menu a lot. :(

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

Glad you got it fixed. Personally, I don’t use Word. I prefer Open Office.
