Or, if you have a section break already, you may be able to use the
SECTIONPAGES field instead of the PAGES field to get the number of pages in
the given section.

How many pages are there? If there are 10 pages, then Word is displaying
the correct result. If you want it to show only 8 pages, then edit the
{PAGES} field to { {PAGES } -2 }. Or if that is too difficult, delete the
{PAGES} field and enter 8 - but that won't dynamically update if you
add/reduces pages later.

Unlink the header/footer in section 2 from that in section 1, then delete

Hello All. I can't seem to get out of this, have followed
instructions in various posts - but stuck. I'm going off my b****y
head!

10 pages. I want no numbers on the first 2, then the rest numbered 1
to 8, in the format Page X of Y. I've split the doc into 2 sections
ok, and 1-8 are appearing on the last 8 pages but pages one and two
are numbered 1 and 2. How can I get rid of those two page numbers?

Thanks.- Hide quoted text -

Hello Suzanne

Thanks for that - I've done it and I'm almost there, but... I've now
got no numbers on the first two pages but the next 8, which I want to
show 1 of 8, 2 of 8 ... up to 8 of 8 are starting 2 of 10, 3 of 10 ...
up to 9 of 10 !!!
