I set up a friends PC with MS Word 2002 so that his office would all
be using Word. He had been using Word Perfect. (He is a lawyer.)
His practice is to make a single large document for each client and
to print only a group of pages. In WordPerfect he was able to
highlight the desired pages and have them print. He manually added the
correct page numbers.
In Word 2002, printing the highlighted (selected) pages also prints
the page and section breaks, which is not good.
I feel that the simplest way to do what he wants would be to let him
select the pages, COPY to the clipboard, and Paste into a new
document, which is used just for printing.
My problem is that I cannot get the normal format, which would be the
default for the new document to remember his page numbering scheme,
which is to omit the number on the first printed page and then start
numbering at 2,3,... on the bottom of the successive pages.
How does one save the complete pagination rules in the normal template
in Word 2002? Not just the location but the omission of the number
from the first page?
Each document he opens was created in WP, so there are a lot of
section breaks. I have told him to start saving as Word docs, but for
now he has loads of old files.
I could make a macro to do some of the task, but I want to keep it
simple and similar to what he is used to doing in WP.
Thanks in advance.
