Inserting page numbers & odd/even headers
I'm having an issue with inserting page numbers and different odd/even headers into an existing document. I am far from a beginner user, which is why this is so frustrating, hence I am looking for help! I will attempt to explain this as succinct as possible. The document is a book. I have put in page numbers beginning at chapter 1, after the prologue, title page, etc. with no problem. The page numbers are in the footer. Next I would like to insert odd/even headers, also beginning with chapter 1, which is page 1. I entered a section break at page 1, entered my odd page header and so far so good. next I enter my even page header, and when i do this it removes my even page numbers from the entire document. I cannot for the life of me get this to work properly and after trying everything I can, including starting over from scratch and following the instructions in help, it is still doing this. I am using Office 2003. Anyone out there that can help me???

Hi Paula,
Did you make sure the 'Same as Previous' header option is 'off' for both the odd & even pages?

Figured it out!
To Paul - yes I had the same as previous option off - thanks though
To Tony, I looked at the link you sent and it was the same instructions as in help, but thank you as well What I did end up doing was this: I removed my existing footer which was my page numbers and started from scratch. I first entered the odd/even header and then put in the page numbers in the footer. I have no clue as to why it worked this way, but wish I thought of it sooner! What I had done was the opposite and then when I tried to add the odd/even header it was removing my even page numbers and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why (and I still didn't!). In any case it's fixed and thanks for your input! |
