I have a long Word document, divided into sections. I would like to have
page numbers for each section so that the first few pages of section one has
the numbers 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc., and the first few pages of section 2 would
go 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc.

I'm trying to get this number sequence by doing the following in Word: I
click in a section where I want to start renumbering, click on the Insert
menu, click Page Number, click Format, and in the Start Box I enter the
number "1". I'm also clicking on "Include Chapter Number" because I want the
page numbers to look like 1-1, 2-1, etc.

When I click on OK, Word then tells me that "there is no chapter number to
include in the caption or page number. To apply chapter numbers use the
Bullets and Numbering Command on the Format menu and select a multilevel
list style that is linked to the Heading styles."

Word's help file tells me to do the following:


1. Use the Bullets and Numbering dialog box to format your chapter titles
with a built-in heading style (heading style: Formatting applied to a
heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1
through Heading 9.).

A. On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click
the Outline Numbered tab.
B. Click a chapter-numbering style (one that includes the text
"Heading 1," "Heading 2," and so on), and then click OK.
C. If you are creating a new heading, type the text you want for
the numbered heading, and then press ENTER.
D. To add the next numbered heading, go to the next chapter
heading, click the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting toolbar,
and then select the heading style you specified in step 2.
2. If your document is divided into sections (section: A portion of a
document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new
section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of
columns, or headers and footers.), click in a section or select multiple
sections in which you want to include chapter numbers along with page
numbers.
3. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
4. Click Format.
5. Select the Include chapter number check box.
6. In the Chapter starts with style box, click the heading style applied
to the chapter titles.
7. In the Use separator box, click the character that you want to
separate the chapter number from the page number.

So, I went to the Format/Bullet and Numbering menu and I click on the
"Outline Numbered" tab. I think I'm supposed to click on one of the choices
that has the word "Heading" in it. This is where I run into difficulties.
Clicking on one of those choices adds a number (like 2.1) in front of all my
section's subheaders. It also adds a number (like 2) in front of my section
heading. It also adds these kinds of numbers to my table of contents, next
to each of the sections and subsections listed in the table of contents.

It does produce the page numbers I'm looking for at the bottom of the page
(like 1-2, or 2-1, etc). But I could really do without the addition of these
numbers next to my section and subsection names in the body of the document.

For example, this is how one of my pages is looking now:

2.1 Welcome to Our Center
Welcome to the Center for Creative Growth. We are ......

2.2 Our Purpose
The Center for Creative Growth (CCG) is a California non-profit educational
and charitable 501(c)(3) organization......

2.3 Introduction to Our Clinical Supervisory Team
We have four licensed staff members at CCG, all of whom compose our Clinical
Supervisory Team......

I'd rather have the page look like this:

Welcome to Our Center
Welcome to the Center for Creative Growth. We are ......

Our Purpose
The Center for Creative Growth (CCG) is a California non-profit educational
and charitable 501(c)(3) organization......

Introduction to Our Clinical Supervisory Team
We have four licensed staff members at CCG, all of whom compose our Clinical
Supervisory Team......

Is it possible to create the look I'm wanting, and still keep the page
numbers on the bottom looking the way I'd like (1-2, 2-3, etc.)?

I'd really appreciate any assistance on this!

Thanks much.
