Page Numbers

Introduction

I would apologize for the foul language, except that this expresses exactly how most authors feel when they first attempt to format page numbers in a Microsoft Word document.

There are several problems that one must solve when numbering pages in Word, and this can be the source of much frustration:

  • You change the page number on one page, and it changes the style or numbering on one or more other pages. #%$&!
  • You insert a page number on a page, but the formatting doesnโ€™t match that of the other pages. @&%$!
  • You try to make the front matter have Roman numerals, but all the page numbers switch from Arabic to Roman. $#@%!
  • You discover that the same page number appears twice in a row. %#$$! %#@$!
  • You add page numbers and the file freezes on you. Worse, it wonโ€™t open back up. $#@@, %$&#, and $&*@!
