Field for (Starting Page)?
Is there a field in Word that I can use to calculate Total Page numbers when
the starting page number is not one. I found a help topic that explained that I needed to look up (StartingNumber), but that is the information I would like to automate. |

Field for (Starting Page)?
NUMPAGES is giving me the total number of pages of the Word Document (In this
case it is 4 pages in the Word Document) . I am changing the starting page number to 3 (so the entire Document has 7 pages). However, if I just use NUMPAGES, and use "Page # of # format", my last page is listed as "Page 7 of 4". is there a way to add NUMPAGES and (StartingPage) to get a total, automatically?

is there a way to add NUMPAGES and (StartingPage) to get a total,
Put a bookmark on the last page of the document -- let's say you name it LastPage. Then replace the NUMPAGES field in the footer with the field {PAGEREF LastPage}. It will display the page number assigned to the last page, such as 7 in your example. Equivalently, put a bookmark (say, FirstPage) on the first numbered page. Then the footer field would be { = {NUMPAGES} + {PAGEREF FirstPage} - 1 } Each pair of field markers must be inserted by pressing Ctrl+F9, not by typing brace characters. This does what you originally proposed, but it's more complicated than the first way. -- 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.
