You have (re)discovered why script writing software is still in demand.
Bob
I have written a play script, which must begin with unnumbered title and character pages, then be numbered sequentially act/scene/running page number in the upper right hand corner as 1-1-1. No matter how I try, when I change the act or scene number, it changes every such number before to the new number, e.g., when I reach 1-1-19 and want it to continue as 1-2-20, I change the "1" to "2" in the header, and it makes all previous pages into 1-2-x pages as well. How can I insert page numbering (starting on page 3 of the document) so that it will let me change acts and scenes, while keeping the running page numbers going? I am running Word in office 2000 under (depending on the computer) windows 2000 or Windows XP. Need help right away. Thanks!
