Microsoft Word 2007: How do you use sequential page numbering?
I have a one page document. I want to print 50 copies of it, with each page numbered sequentially from 1 to 50. (It's a questionnaire that needs to be numbered to identify 50 different participants).
I've read about field codes, but they are new to me, and I'm not sure how they work.
I know that I could print the pages one at a time, and renumber the pages manually, but I know there is a better method. Plus, I may have more than 50 participants. I don't think the header/footer page numbering function will work - I think I'd just end up with 50 copies all numbered as page one.
Thank you for the help.

To print 50 one-page documents with sequential numbers you'd need some Visual Basic code to save and increment the last-used number.
However, if you copied the single page forty-nine times back into the same document you could use ordinary page numbering to number them. Make sure there's a hard page break (CTRL/Enter) at the end of the page so you don't have any bleed-forward or -backward of the text.
By the way, note that once you've copied the page once, you can select both pages and copy them at the same time. Then four pages, ... eight pages, ... So it's not 49 actual copies.
Hope that helps.

Yes. If you put a Section break (not a page break) at the end of the first page, and another at the end of the pages you want numbered with Roman numerals, you can set each section's header or footer to have or not have page numbers, can start both numbered sections at 1, and can use Roman in one section and Arabic in the other. Here are the details: To insert a section break, do this: 1. Click the cursor where you want the section break to go. 2. Click the Page Layout tab on the ribbon. 3. Click the Break button 4. Click Next Page. To turn off the headers and/or footers for the unnumbered section, do this: 1. If there aren't already headers or footers in the document, insert them as you need and select a page number position. 2. Double-click in the header in the second (Roman numeral) section. 3. Deselect Link to Previous. This will separate the headers for the first and second section. 4. Repeat, if necessary, for the footer. Now to set the numbering and formatting. Repeat this for each of the two numbered sections: 1. Double-click in the header or footer. 2. Click the Page Number button in the Header & Footer group. 3. Click Format Page Numbers. 4. In the Number format list box, select either Arabic or Roman numerals. 5. Click the Start at radio button. A 1 should appear in the combination box next to it. 6. Click OK. Hope that helps.
