Adding an A3 page within an A4 Word Document

[rossmclan]

Hi

I want to add a A3 page within an A4 document.

I tried to do it via Inset > Break (Section Break Next Page) but am finding it reverts the Page number in the Footer of the A3 page to 1. Same goes at the end of the A3 section, it reverts back to 1 again.

How do I do it so the page numbering is continuous, ie 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc - rather than 1,2,3,1,1,2,3 etc

Am I using the wrong type of Section Break to add an A3 page within a A4 document? Should I even be using Section Breaks?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Yes, you need section breaks. I think you are going to have to go in and tell the page number settings to begin at whatever page number instead of starting at 1.

You need to change a setting in the page number format.

In Word 2007 - Ribbon Insert tab > Header and Footer Group > Page Numbers > Format Page Numbers (also available off the Header and Footer Tools > Design contextual tab)

In earlier versions - Insert > Page Numbers > Format Page Numbers (also available on the Header and Footer toolbar)

Whichever version, the dialogue is the same and at the bottom has a pair of radio buttons: continue numbering, or start from a number. Make sure the continue button is selected.

Enjoy,
Tony
