Display header for section 3 only

[Alex St-Pierre]

Hi !
I'm using this command to put page number starting at page 3 and more. There
are wdSectionBreakNextPageSet after page 1 and page 2. Does anyone know why
the page number start at page 1 (section 1)?
Set oRange = docWord.Sections(3).Headers(1).Range
oRange.InsertAfter "Page "
oRange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
oRange.Fields.Add Range:=oRange, Type:=wdFieldPage
Thanks!!
Alex

The starting page number must be specified on a section basis. For
example:

With ActiveDocument.Sections(3).Headers(1).PageNumbers
.RestartNumberingAtSection = True
.StartingNumber = 3 'specify the number you want!
End With

Hmm, I just realized that I may have misunderstood your first
question. If the problem is that you want to keep the headers of the
first two sections blank, so that they do not reflect any insertions
made in section 3, you should use this code to unlink them:

docWord.Sections(1).Headers(1).LinkToPrevious = False
docWord.Sections(2).Headers(1).LinkToPrevious = False
docWord.Sections(3).Headers(1).LinkToPrevious = False

Then try to insert page numbers with your original code.

Note that each section actually has three different headers (and
footers); you may want to unlink those too, using Headers(2),
Headers(3) (and similarly for the footers). They won't display,
however, unless you enable the DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter and
OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter properties.
