Summary:

To automatically number pages sequentially from one linked document to another in Word version 4.00:


 * 1) Type the number 0 (zero) in the Number Pages From option in the Document dialog box for all linked documents except the first one.
 * 2) Print the document.

To automatically number pages sequentially from one linked document to another in Word versions 3.00, 3.01, and 3.02:


 * 1) Type the number 0 (zero) in the Start Page Numbers At option in the Page Setup dialog box for all linked documents except the first one.
 * 2) Print the document.

More Information:

Page numbers show correctly in sequence for all linked documents only when the documents are printed. The Next File button (in the Document dialog box on the Format menu) is a one-way link. That is, those documents “linked to” do not keep any of the properties of the previous document. Similarly, if only one of the series of documents is to be printed, the Start Page Numbers At box must be filled with the correct starting page number, or they will start at 0 (zero).

For more information about the Next File command in Microsoft Word 4.00, and the Format Document command in general, see pages 50-54 in the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual.

For more information about the Next File command in Microsoft Word versions 3.00, 3.01, and 3.02, see pages 183-186 or page 297 in the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 3.0 manual.
