Default Help with numbering landscape pages


I'm using Word 2007 (but it saves to Word 97/2003 due to work site restrictions). I'm trying to format an 11x17 page that has a table which continues onto two pages. The first page should read B-1/B-2 in the footer. That works fine. However, since the table breaks across two pages, I can't get the second page to behave like a new section to put in the new page number (B-3/B-4). (That's my workaround for the other times this happened.) Is there an easier way? I tried the Insert Quick Parts dialog, but that doesn't work for what I need. Thanks so much!

Just a followup: My coworker and I hashed this over and we decided there really is no way to number the pages the way I described above if there is a table that breaks across two or more pages. Oh well. We ended up just putting B-1, B-2, etc. ... not ideal, but what we had to do.

hi,

It's not at all clear why you'd want B-1/B-2 in the footer on one page and B-3/B-4 on the other. How are these related to page #s?

I'm sorry if it wasn't clear. These are appendices to a document that will be published by a government contractor. Format requirements are that appendices have a letter (B in this case) and the individual pages are numbered sequentially in that appendix. In the case I was asking about, we're using 11x17 paper to print oversized figures and/or tables. The format guidelines suggest using B-1/B-2 to compensate for the size of the paper when you're going to duplicate a two-sided document. It's complicated, but "normal" for what we're doing.

It doesn't really matter now, though, since we decided to (with this particular table anyhow) just use B-1, B-2, etc. So it's solved, but I did have to work around the issue since there doesn't seem to be a way to split a table without actually breaking it into two tables.

You can achieve such a numbering scheme with two fields, coded as:
{={PAGE}*2-1}
and:
{={PAGE}*2}
for the left and right-hand numbers, respectively.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message.
