Automatically update page numbers when new pages inserted

nvidovic · #1 05-23-2012, 10:39 AM

Hello, I am working with a Word document (~20 pages long, if that is relevant). I want to add a new section (also a word document, ~4 pages) somewhere in the middle of the document. Is it possible to insert this section and have all subsequent page #s automatically update?

Thank you in advance :-)

Aside: I am working on a Linux OS, but that was not an option. MAC OS X is closest

Yes, just make sure that the new section does not tell Word to restart the page numbering.
