If you have to do this process quite often, you may be interested in using a macro to reset the starting page number for each section of the merged document.
When completed, the page numbering should be correct in the full merged document. Make sure you repeat these steps for each of the contracts in the merged document. Ensure the page number shown to the right of the Start radio button is set to 1.Make sure the Start radio button is selected.Word displays the Page Number Format dialog box. In the Header & Footer group, click the Page Number tool.If you are not seeing these results with your merged document, you'll want to go to the beginning of each contract in the merged document and place the insertion point somewhere simple, like in the first line of the contract. Even though the merged document was still 1,200 pages, the page numbering was correct for each individual 30-page document in that merged document. When I did the merge, Word still handled the page numbering correctly in the merged document. I made sure that the page numbering was set to "continuous" for each section in the source document. I then went back to my source document and inserted a few section breaks in it, thinking that this might affect the final merged document. Word automatically separated each of the merged documents with a section break, and the page numbering for each document (each new section) began with 1, as it should. The result was a single document of 1,200 pages (30 x 40). I then merged it with a 40-member client list. I created a 30-page mail-merge document and made sure it had page numbers. In doing some testing with this, my page numbering came out correctly. She wonders how she can ensure that the page numbering restarts in each of the merged documents so that she has 50-60 customized contracts, each having pages numbered 1-30. In the resulting merged document, the page numbering is consecutive across all the merged pages. She can mail merge this document with approximately 50-60 client names.
Kath has a contract document that is 30 pages long.
