So sorry for the long post, but hopefully it’ll help identify the solution needed when working with these lengthy and detailed documents with multiple sections/appendices needing to appear TOCs, and which can’t just be recreated from scratch in 2010 to eliminate all background carryovers from years past.
Adding the Section field using Quick Parts and using letters worked, but since Appendix A is the 5th section within my document, it came in as E instead of A, and I haven’t been able to figure out how to re-order the section breaks without also re-ordering the entire document (not an option), or how to manually number the section breaks as appropriate to make Appendix A section 1, etc., which would preserve the breaks and their locations as needed, but would change the assigned number of the section break so the Appendix page numbering would be correct and transfer into the TOC appropriately as well. One other seemingly probable option was using Quick Parts to import the chapter number from the section and adding the page number ( – Example 2). I’ve tried telling it to continue page numbering starting on page 2, and on page 6, which had a different section break to allow formatting changes to occur between pages 5 and 6, but all only show up as A-1. It does pull in the Chapter designated from the linked heading style, and page 1 of Appendix A shows A-1 as desired, but so do the remaining 10 pages of Appendix A. “Note In Word 2007 and Word 2010, click Breaks on the Page Layout tab.”). I’ve tried all options, and the one that nearly was successful was Example 2 (which I have already sent a correction to Microsoft for the Note under step 1 to use section breaks not page breaks (i.e. I’ve gotten to where it appears Linda was too, with using Chapters linked to a Heading Style ( ) to identify each Appendix letter with the page number. Trying to create a new page numbering format that includes those options has been unsuccessful as well.
If you manually add the A- before the page number, it doesn’t carry over to the TOC.
We are trying to have the Appendices A-E show up in the TOC with page numbering corresponding to each Appendix (i.e. docx), these older documents exhibit very bizarre behavior that cannot be recreated when starting from scratch in a clean 2010 document.Īs for my issue (and Linda’s), this again is a regenerated document from way back, and has eleven different sections within it.
With the drastic changes that came with the Word 2007 upgrade (.doc to. What I’ve discovered is that these documents that refuse to display the chosen page number type used in the various sections of the document are typically documents originally created in Word 2003 (or earlier), and which have been updated and re-saved umpteen times since being created so long ago.
I am kind of a big Footer fan - and I remember this whole process being easier - but maybe it is just me getting old - still using my Cell as a phone and not an email, browser device.I’m my firm’s In-House Trainer, and I’ve been battling a similar issue. Just click on Print Preview, then click on Margins, then on Custom Margins, then click on the Header/Footer Tab - and you will be given the opportunity to do Custom Headers and Footers there (with all the shortcut Design icons). While playing around with this, I found that you can actually access the Headers and Footers in the Print Preview view (almost easier there). "Go to Footer" greyed out), but Excel will let you add a Canned Footer (go figure).Īfter I reset the Margins back to Normal, everything was fine and the Go to Footer button was active - and the Footers are available in the Page Layout view (as was the Header, as is normal) HOWEVER, the whole process is still a little tricky because you can easily get kicked out of the Footer editing if you start clicking around (short story - stay there once you get there). The PROBLEM has something to do with the Margins set up on the spreadsheet.Īpparently I had my spreadsheet set up with Custom Margins (not sure how that happened) with no room at the bottom of the spreadsheet and apparently the location of the Footer cannot be changed - so Excel won't let you mess with the Footer if there isn't room for it (i.e. Used a canned Footer (which I didn't want) and found that the Footer OVER-PRINTED on top of the data on my spreadsheet. FOUND IT - Absolutely crazy - particularly since Excel can't somehow tell you what is going on.
