Chapter numbers in Word 2000

External Since: Sep 16, 2008 Posts: 3

I need help creating running chapter numbers in sequential files. FWIW, I am
using a master document and subdocuments if that helps. I know how to
continue page numbering from previous chapter but need to know how to do the
same for a chapter paragraph.

If the numbering is continuous when you view the master document but
restarts when you look at an individual document, then everything is
probably working the way it is supposed to. Note, however, that not many
posters use master documents, since they tend to cause corruption (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm). Using
INCLUDETEXT fields will be a safer approach; see
