page numbers

[rich_cirillo]

Hi



When i add a new page to a document it shows the page number the same as the sheet before it. If i add 1 page it has the same page number as page before, if i add 5 pages they all have the same page number as the last page before the 5 inserted. How do i change page numbers so that when pages are added they continue increasing by 1?

Thanks

Rich

You would do this by adding your page numbers using a Word field. The most straight-forward way of doing this is to type the word "page" without the quotation marks and then selecting that word and pressing Ctrl+F9 followed by F9. There is a keyboard shortcut for this which inserts a formatted page field: Alt+Shift+P

Finally, on the Insert ribbon tab you can find Page Numbers. Note that unless you pick the option to insert at the current position, you may be overwriting an existing header or footer.
