Page numbering is not working

I tried using the instructions at mvps.org titled "How to control the page
numbering in a Word document".

We are using word 2002. I have section breaks after pages 1 2 and 3. On
page 3 i inserted the CTRL-F9 with the text "{Page 1.\*Arabic}" as directed
in the footer. It doesn't show the page number on previous pages, but it
also doesn't show it on the existing page 3 either. Also, it show the same
text "1." on the succeeding pages.

Don't understand ?

Thanks,
Tony
 
Hi Tony,

Nowhere on that page does it suggest using {Page 1.\* Arabic}

If you want the number on Page 3 to start with 1, just use the { PAGE }
field and following the instructions about formatting the page number by
clicking on the Format Page Number button on the headers and footers
toolbar.

If it's something different that you want to do, please post back to the
newsgroup with a description of what it is.
