Okay I'm about to put in some page numbers on a report that I have here and in order to check to see what the page numbers are doing right now I'm just going to start with section tube here and just to see what happens I go over to the word page number while I'm in the header and footer tools and I go down to the words current position and I click on one when I do this I see that I have a zero on the table of contents page and I have a zero and another zero and then I go to two and in any case all of the numbers aren't working so what do I need to do well the first thing I want to do is I want to get rid of that page number because it actually doesn't work and then I have to take a look at my headers right now the first thing you wanted to determine is whether your headers are actually set up correctly and I can tell right away that in fact my headers are not how do I know that when I click on my very first page that is the cover of my report it says over here first page header section one what that means is that a word software program determines that this is a first page and when we look over here at the design tab that this is going to be different than any other pages we want that because we don't want a page number and we do not want word to consider that in the table of contents as an actual page however when I click over here in section two the same thing happens it says first page header once again and that's your first mistake sometimes that automatically comes up and you have to deselect that for section two why do you do that because you do want where to recognize the table of contents as a page we just don't want a page number on there so I'm going to deselect different first page for section two the title changes now from first page header section two to just the word header I go down to section three I see the same thing is happened here so I deselect different first page and I do the same thing for section 4 I deselect them now as I continue down you can see that there's no more first page the only place where I have that is actually located where it should be on the very first page the other thing I need to do is I need to take take out these numbers so I'm going to do that as well and so I have no numbers and now my sections are have headers that are entitled the way they should be let's find out what we do next all right so the.
