MS Word 2007-16 Legal - Page Numbering Problems and Different First Page:

Page Numbering Problems and Different First Page: 1. Each class I teach involves the use of "Different First Page". 2. Different First Page is found under the "Page Layout Tab" (2007-13) and (Layout) 2016. Within the Page Layout Tab, go to "Page Set-up" and the Layout Tab under Page Set-up. This is where you will see the "Different First Page Selection". You can also find Different First Page under the Header/Footer Ribbon. 3. "Different First Page" allows you to either 1) Hold off a page number from the first page of a particular Section but bring forth the numbering on the Second Page of that Section and/or place text on the first page of a Section such as DRAFT but NOT continuing that same text from the second page forward of that same section. That is the job of Different First Page. 4. Without Different First Page, attempting to exclude the page number from page 1, the page number will show up on Page 1 regardless. 5. Having trouble with Page Numbering is usually a combination of Different First Page and forgetting to take off Link To Previous. Forgetting to take off Link To Previous results in unwanted page numbering in certain sections of your document. So, to set the page numbering on the main part of the document. A. Make sure Different First Page is active for the Entire Document. B. Select Insert Footer, and Choose Edit Footer C. When the Footer area opens up, immediately turn off Link To Previous. D. Go to the Page Number Button (3rd Button From Left) and go to Format Page Numbers. E. Select the 1,2,3 style and choose Start at 1. Select OK to exit the Dialog Box. F. Go Straight to the bottom of Page 2. Remove Link To Previous, Center the Cursor (Control E). G. Go into your Page Number Button (3rd Button From Left) and choose "Current Location" and make the Selection "Plain Number". H. Your number will come in on Page 2 as 2 and you are now set for the remainder of that Section no matter how long the section is. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com
