Incorrect page numbers
I keep having this problem. Example: I have a 10 page document, plus the
cover page plus a 2 page table of contents. In the actual document (header and footer) I only want the page numbers of the actual document, not including the cover page and the TOC. But each time I try to use "page x of y" it will give the the correct value for "X" but not for "y". In other words, I want it to say Page 1 of 10, not 1 of 13. Andy because the document is always being revised, I can't put "10" in manually - my boss wants it to automatically update when any changes are made to the document. Any help, suggestions, comments? Thanks |

Incorrect page numbers
What you need to do is count the pages in the section instead of the entire
document so you need to use the {SectionPages} field instead of the {NumPages} field. Delete the total page number field, press Ctrl+F9, type SectionPages between the braces, and then press F9 to update the field. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Co-author of Word 2007 Inside Out: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/boo...x#AboutTheBook Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "THANSEN" wrote in message news I keep having this problem.
