Page numbering, Headers

[Guest]

I am looking for a way to have the first 5 or so pages of a 380 page document
be blank. I want the page numbering to start on page 5. Also in the same
document, I want the headers to be one way on even numbered pages and
different on odd but to start on page 5 as well.

 

[Guest]

Also, I am using Word 2000.

Put a section break (Insert > Break) after page 4. Then do all you want with
the headers, footers, and page numbers in Section 2 (switching off same as
previous on all of them) but leave them blank (or different if need be) in
Section 1.

 

[Guest]

Thanks, but word numbers the first section 1-4 and will not leave it blank.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm (and note that
to have *no* page numbering, as opposed to different numbering, you must
unlink header/footer from the previous section).

You MUST turn off Same as previous (in Word 2003, it's called Link to
previous) in Section 2. Then, you may need to delete the page number fields
from the first section.

Ok I got the page numbeers to work and have the first 4 be blank but I cannot
get the headers to be one name on even pages and a different one on odd pages

 

[Anne Troy]

Do you have that section set up to be "Different Odd and Even" under
File-->Page Setup, Layout tab?
Don't forget to turn OFF same as/link to previous!

If you will look at the referenced article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm, it explains about using
odd and even headers/footers (and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm covers the
pagination issues).
