Insert a Continuous section break at the top of the first page of the document. Go to your first page footer and insert the page number in the center. In the header of the second page, insert a page number right justified and deselect "Same as Previous" in the Header/Footer toolbar. If there is a number at the bottom of page 2 now, delete it. At the end of each chapter, insert a Next Page section break, and now the pages of each new chapter should be numbered the way you want. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shaw, Barbara" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 9:59 AM Subject: [PCSOFT] Need help numbering pages in Word > Hello, > > I'm running Windows XP and Word 2000.
