At some point during the last two years, the page numbering that had been in use was changed, and the new system really does not work. I have been working on a book for the last five or more years and had to suspend my work due to my wifes health approx 1 and a half years ago. I recently started work again and noticed that the page numbering was no longer in the master document. I tried to re-establish the numbering but was not successful. Currently, I was only able to get the system to number the pages in the first chapter, and the other chapters are not numbering the pages consecutively, but trying to start each chapter with page one. I have also tried to number the early pages of the master document (the first 7 pages) which describe the contents of the book following the instructions in the help pages, but could not get them to number properly. It will number the first two pages properly, and then it keeps on using the number two for the remaining pages.
Hello Larry, Thank you for reporting the bug. Unfortunately without clear steps to reproduce it, we cannot track down the origin of the problem. Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided
You would have to create some chapters. Three should be sufficient, with maybe three pages each. Set up page numbering in the first chapter which should go without a problem. But, there is no way that I can find to continue the numbering into the next two chapters. Then, set up a master document and place these three chapters in the the newly created document. Now, insert three or four title and info pages ahead of the chapters. Insert the numbering for these pages individually, which may or may not work. I finally got it to work two nights ago, and it now appears in the master document, but the one chapter in which the page numbers are there and consecutive shows up in the master document without the page numbers. What I did accomplish took a lot of time and is taking time away from trying to finish the book. Originally, when I first created the master document several years back, the numbering just showed up automatically. Now the system requires me to crate the numbering, and apparently there is not a provision in the software to number all page consecutively in the master document. If there is such a provision, I have yet to find it. Not being a geek, I am probably not giving you the information that you need. But I will try.
Could you add an attachment for this situation, please? I can not reproduce the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided
