RestartPageNumbering

PageSetup.RestartPageNumbering property

True if page numbering restarts at the beginning of the section.

public bool RestartPageNumbering { get; set; }

Remarks

If set to false, the RestartPageNumbering property will override the PageStartingNumber property so that page numbering can continue from the previous section.

Examples

Shows how to set up page numbering in a section.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.Writeln("Section 1, page 1.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Writeln("Section 1, page 2.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Writeln("Section 1, page 3.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);
builder.Writeln("Section 2, page 1.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Writeln("Section 2, page 2.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Writeln("Section 2, page 3.");

// Move the document builder to the first section's primary header,
// which every page in that section will display.
builder.MoveToSection(0);
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);

// Insert a PAGE field, which will display the number of the current page.
builder.Write("Page ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");

// Configure the section to have the page count that PAGE fields display start from 5.
// Also, configure all PAGE fields to display their page numbers using uppercase Roman numerals.
PageSetup pageSetup = doc.Sections[0].PageSetup;
pageSetup.RestartPageNumbering = true;
pageSetup.PageStartingNumber = 5;
pageSetup.PageNumberStyle = NumberStyle.UppercaseRoman;

// Create another primary header for the second section, with another PAGE field.
builder.MoveToSection(1);
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
builder.Write(" - ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");
builder.Write(" - ");

// Configure the section to have the page count that PAGE fields display start from 10.
// Also, configure all PAGE fields to display their page numbers using Arabic numbers.
pageSetup = doc.Sections[1].PageSetup;
pageSetup.PageStartingNumber = 10;
pageSetup.RestartPageNumbering = true;
pageSetup.PageNumberStyle = NumberStyle.Arabic;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "PageSetup.PageNumbering.docx");
