it's long and unclear…
It's not unclear, and it's hardly the author's fault the instructions are long, to the best of my knowledge they weren't responsible for designing Word 2007.
But it works…Thx.
p.s.
just delete "link to previous" from the next section.
Been looking for about a month now on how to do this, no luck! Few other "reputable" sites did not explain it correctly and I'm using 2010! Your's worked, it put it at the Header but I don't care, it started it off correctly and on the page I wanted, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
worked for me! found this link with a quick google search. easy peasy..
Dear friends
Simple method:
Detach and attach rule
Detach
just detach the word pages with cntrl + x and paste (ctrl +v) in file 1.
the file 1 doesnot show ur page number ,,if it shows..just use click on page number and use delete option.
file 2 is orginal let us say where software automatically picks to page number counts from 1,
Attach
just combine the file 1 and file 2 with combine pdf an send to ur supervisor which is most standard way in document work
else
use pdf to word converter u again get good reults but you need to have softwares pdf to word converter which is also free but download it from website.
every thing is simple option, it takes less time.
Process 2
detach, groupup and header and fooder ,,but its tough to explain in single page
That was so easy and perfect… Thanks a lot brother!
Thanks for this, once again microsoft make something simple long and complicated.
