"How do you number a document in one section and not the other?"

[Guest]

I am trying to number section 2 in my word document, but the numbers also
appear in section 1. What do I need to do to stop Word from numbering in
section 1?

Turn off "same as previous" in the section 2 header and footer
before you insert the page numbers in section 2. If you already
inserted the page numbers, then turn off "same as previous" in
section 2, and delete the page numbers from section 1. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm for
more information.

Assume you mean page numbering: open the header or footer in section 2 that
should contain the number. Uncheck 'Link to Previous' in the Headers and
Footers toolbar. Now format the headers/footers for sections 1 and 2
independently.
