Another Landscape Page Numbering Question

[Kristine]

I successfully created two consecutive landscape pages in
an otherwise portrait page dominated document. Now I am
having a problem with the page numbers of these 2
landscape pages. I placed a Section Break (Next Page) on
the portrait page (page 1-1) before the first landscape
page, at the bottom of the first landscape page (page 1-
2), and at the bottom of the second landscape page (page 1-
3). Whether I manually type 1-2 on page 1-2 or use Page
Number Format / Start at: 2, both pages 1-2 and 1-3 show 1-
2 and vice versa. Why are the footers for these two pages
somehow linked even though I had the Same as Previous
button off the entire time?

Dear Kristine,

These are all just guesses--

1) This may sound dumb, but try going into the page 1-3
and clicking on the number 1-3 and see if it "updates".
Sometimes when we update the number of pages in a
document, we have to click on the footer to get it
to "update".

2) Failing that, try going back into the landscape
footers, clearing out your page numbers, saving the
document, re-open it, and re-insert the footers.

3) I had no trouble creating the document you wanted from
scratch - that is, a few portrait pages, then 2 landscape
pages, then more portrait pages. The "stubborn" footer
problem may have something to do with the fact that you
inserted the landscape pages into a mostly portrait
document. You might try copy the pages after the
landscape pages into another document (as a temporary
holding place), then deleting them from the document, and
see if that affects the landscape footer.

Good luck
