Learn MS Word Legal: Once The Second Page of a Section is in place you are set...

This subject comes up more than people realize. It involves knowing when the pieces of a particular Section are in place and understanding what determines how the Sections work when using Different First Page. 1. I like to go through a routine with my students whereby I make sure that under the "Layout" tab under Page Set-Up and Layout that "Section Start" says "New Page" and "Different First Page" is checked. At the bottom of the Dialog box it should say "Apply To Whole Document". Doing this from the beginning ensures that you have "Different First Page" ready to use anywhere necessary in the document. 2. A good rule to remember: "Once you set the second page of a particular Section, you are then set for the remainder of that Section whether it goes on for the next 10 pages or if it goes on for the next 100 pages". 3. In terms of page numbers, once you bring in the number on the second page of a Section such as "ii" for your TOC, TOA or Index of Terms then the remainder of the Section devoted to the romanette numbering will automatically keep tallying page after page. 4. Same goes for the Main part of the document whereby we set the numbering on page one of the Main Section but we do not bring the numbering in until the bottom of page 2 of that Section and it comes in as "2". You are then set with the numbering for the remainder of the Section no matter how long . Finally, if you have on the first page of a Section the word Confidential sitting in the Header, and do not wish to continue the word Confidential from page 2 of that Section forward then do the following: On the second page Header of that Section turn off "Link To Previous" and remove the word Confidential. For the remainder of that Section (page 2 forward) you will no longer see "Confidential" in the Header. The use of "Different First Page" and knowing how Sections work makes your day a lot easier.
