Grayed-out Page-Numbers option?

[machellewilchesky]

Hi
I've brought together several documents to create one master document
and now realise that my page-numbers option has been disabled. There
was a footer for one of the sub-documents and I read in one post that
this may have something to do with it.

What can I do to fix this?

thanks,

Machelle

Bump! Did no one bother to read this?

No one here owes you anything. People spend their own time, unpaid, to
provide assistance with Word. If no one had an answer to your question
they would not respond.

Hi Machelle,

What version of Word are you using, what are the steps you used to create a master document and what are the steps you're trying to
use that lead to the page numbers being disabled. (Word's master document feature is somewhat flawed).

Sorry for the delay, Bob..
After the previous response I was somewhat discouraged from returning
and only noticed your interest in assisting me now.

I'm using MS Office Word 2003 SP1

What I've done is perhapse not a formal master document compilation
per se.
I have

1) Used styles to format major headings as heading one, captions as
caption etc;
2) Used section breaks to denote where chapters are supposed to begin
3) Pasted the contents of various preciously created documents in
their appropriate
sections (i.e. chapters);
4) generated a table of contents at the beginning.


I've noticed, by the way, that my paragraph option is also not
operational and I therefore also can not double space my text.

Do I have to just start again by inserting all text unformatted and
only then play with the formatting options for this to work? I hope
not as it will be days and days of work to accomplish this


thanks so much in advance,
