Page numbering format in headers won't change

Gordon7000

I've been trying to change the default Arabic page numbers in page headers to
lower case Roman numerals for the first part of my document (I'm using
section breaks to separate the various parts). However, although I can access
the dialog box, select Roman numerals, and press OK, the page numbering
remains at 1,2,3 etc, instead of i,ii,iii etc. I assume this is a problem yet
to be resolved, but if there's a workaround, I'd be happy to hear from
someone.

Sorry, macropod. Yes, it's Word 2007 beta.

Hi Gordon,

I haven't installed the beta myself, but maybe one of the other participants
here who has can help you. Knowing which version of Word they're dealing
with will help.

Cheers

I had a problem with the Beta in that I couldn't install any page numbers in
a header, despite my efforts to do so. At least you are able to get some
numbers, it sounds like, even if the wrong ones. I wonder how you managed to
get the numbers to work at all.

Hi JEEGG,

I didn't find any problems getting Word 2007 beta to display page numbers
throughout my long document (except with the style of numbers at the
beginning of the document). All I did was to select one of Word's built-in
Header styles, and the page numbering facility was inserted automatically.
I've had no problems numbering the main pages (in the headers) across
chapters and section breaks, etc. I don't know what would happen if I tried
to insert page numbering manually into the Headers. I haven't tried this, as
the ready-made Header style with included numbering worked fine.

Regards,

Gordon

I know this is long ago, but to change the format of the page number, you
have to edit the header, click on the page number and a little box will
appear with the page number symbol on it. Double click that box and you can
change the format as well as restart the page numbers at 1.

Hi CJ,

Many thanks for your response. I'm not working on these documents at
present, but as soon as I return to them I'll try your suggestion.

Regards,

Gordon
