Page numbers in Project

[Robbie21]

I have a 2 page MPP file with a hard page break. I need to number the first
page A-7 and the second page A-8 so they show up in view and on printed copy.
When using the footer feature, I cannot get different page numbers. Instead
the same page number appears on both pages. What is the obvious I am missing?

Hi Robbie21,

I have a *partial* answer for you. When you click on the Footer tab and
click the Center tab, you'll see the text:
Page &[Page]

You'll need to edit the text to:
A-&[Page]

This will give you A-1 on page one and A-2 on page two.

The difficulty is starting the page number at 7. Unfortunately, there
doesn't seem to be a direct way in Project (unlike Word) to specify that
the page number starts at 7 and not at 1.

There may be a method through VBA to start the numbering at 7, but I'm
afraid my VBA skills are not strong enough to guide you in that realm.
Perhaps one of the frequenters of this site (John or Jan) can provide
that missing piece.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Robbie,

I would just write in the text for A-7 in the footer and print that page,
then repeat for page A-8.
