Page total shows total for entire document not each section total.
Page total shows total for entire document not each section total.
I have a document with several sections, but am unable to get a correct page total for each separate section. The printed page total is the total pages for the entire document. I've inserted section breaks and broken the link to each previous section and still end up with the wrong totals. A simple 7 page document example follows. In this case I have a cover page followed by two sections of three pages each. There is a section break after the cover page and a section break after the first section. The links to the previous section have been broken. Section 1 prints without a page number as as desired. Section 2 is numbered 1 of 7, 2 of 7, and 3 of 7. The desired output is 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 4. Section 3 is numbered 1 of 7, 2 of 7, and 3 of 7. The desired result is 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3. There are seven total pages in the document, but I need each section to have separate section totals. How do I get the total to be the total for that section only? |

Page total shows total for entire document not each section total.
The "Page X of Y" construct consists of text plus two fields -- when you
select it and press Shift+F9 to display field codes, you see Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}. The {NUMPAGES} field always shows the total number of pages in the document. To get what you want, you need to replace that field with a {SECTIONPAGES} field. While the field code is visible, just type SECTIONPAGES between the braces, and then press F9 to update it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
