Hi,
I've been working away for weeks now trying to get the page numbers to count properly in a book that I'm writing, but I'm getting sick and tired of solving one problem only to be confronted by another. So at the moment, I have a number of problems which I need help working out what to do with. The initial problem was that the numbering kept re-starting because word had inserted random section breaks all over the place.
1. I'm trying to keep the first few pages free from numbering, but every time I try to delete them, (almost) every other page number in the fifty-page long document also gets deleted. I've made sure the ones I want to keep are set to 'start with', but this doesn't help anything.
2. I wanted the next few pages to be of the system i, ii, iii, which is working perfectly, but for the fact that every time I try to set the numbers below to 'start from' a number, it turns the last page of the i, ii, iii format into 1, 2, 3 format. Completely bizarre. Completely stupid.
3. I mentioned above that I was trying to get the main bulk of the pages to start from 1 - this doesn't work. These pages are still inexplicably linked to the first few pages which I don't want numbered (see my first point), and whenever I try, the page I set to 'start from' actually starts at 6. It also seems to follow no logical counting order.
Any help would be very much appreciated. The sooner I can get this sorted, the sooner I can get back to actually writing to book. Either that or I'll have to find a pdf editor.
Thank you
