Page numbering for master document

R

Robert McN

I have a master document with about 10 subdocument. When I wanted to print
it out, I couldn't figure out how to have the page numbeing run consecutively
starting from the first page of chapter 1 thru the final page of the
document. The on-disk help was useless. This shouldn't be so difficult. Can
anyone explain how this is done? Thanks.

possible, and you will find more information on controlling those big files
