How can you number pages in word across multiple documents so the first page in the 2nd document has a page number of the last page in the first document plus 1? Without setting the page number in the second document manually?

In Word, under Insert/Page Numbers/Format, you can input the start number on the second document as the next page number from the first. If the number of pages changes in document 1, you'll have to reset that, but then the rest of the pages number automatically. That may be what you think of as manually. Is there some reason this can't be put into one file at the end?

That is what I think of as manually. I have to submit my 29 chapter work as 29 separate files. Breaking one big file into 29 files is a PITA. And trying to main 29 separate files that constantly change in number of pages and have to maintain page numbering across files is a PITA. I was hoping there was some way to enter a formula for starting page number that links across files, so that when chapter increases in number of pages all 28 others adjust. So far working in one big file and dividing it at the end works best but still a lot of repetative labor.

Yeah, that sucks.
It looks like it can be done with the Master Document and outline view, in which the chapters referenced in the outline view can become separate files, but I've never tried it.

TB,
for my dissertation done a long time ago in Word 6, Master Documents is what I used. Master Documents was a pain in the ass, but I suspect that is what you need to use.
I think you probably need to spend about 2 hours learning MD and applying the styles the way you like them.
back up everything before you do master documents because I had to fiddle with it some.

Master documents sounds like what I need. And yes to backup because everyone says they become readily corrupted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Steve Jobs biggest flops. I seem to have completely missed the shuffle without buttons. And the first gen Apple TV. How many gens were there? Is the current streaming only one gen three? I think I have two.
