Page Numbering Over Sections in Word

Anyone got any ideas why I can not use page numbers in sections other than section 1?

In section 1 the page numbering works fine (1,2,3 etc).

In sections 2, 3, & 4 all pages are shown as 0.

This is destroying any TOC's as well.

I am using Word 2002 on an XP box.

 
Hi OliviF :)

What you have to do, unfortunately, is to number each section you have in the document, making sure you 'continue from the previous section'.

That can be found by clicking the format button under insert>page numbers.

Hi Penny,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

This did not help the document.

I have since found 2 strange facts about this document.

1) If I remove the header, the page number (in the footer) displays properly (ie with numbers, not all zeros). Unfortunately I can't remove the header as it is the company letterhead :)

2) This document displays 100% correctly on a collegues computer with identical setup.

Any other ideas???

Thanks
Olivia
 
You could try removing the header, and inserting the company logo at the top of the page....

Thanks Penny,

Found this related thread (thread68-707576).

The problem relates to
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 292158

Used this to create the workaround.
