Page Numbering

[Leslie]

Hi,
I'm working on my first newsletter using Publisher 2003. It is going well,
but I have a confusing problem with page numbering. The newsletter is four
pages long. I took the original page numbers off, and made new text boxes
for the title and page #. Page 1 is fine (and not numbered) Page 4 is fine.
But page 2 and 3 keep changing back and forth. If I save page 2, page 3
becomes page 2 also. Same if I save page 3 - page 2 changes back to page 3.
I've tried everythinig I can think of. Any ideas? Thanks

You are changing the Master page, by doing so you are losing the automatic page
numbering system Publisher produces.
Delete all the text boxes on the Master Page. Insert, page numbers, check where
you want the numbers, uncheck Show page number on the first page. If you don't
want a page number on page four, create a lineless white rectangle to cover it
or create a separate Master page for page four.

Thanks Mary,
I'll remember that for the next issue. I've never used publisher before. I
like it but it's a steep learning curve. lol

There are many good learning articles for Publisher on the Microsoft web site.
There are some training demos as well. Publisher is easy to use, much more so
than Word.
