Default Attached Envelope should not be counted as a page for {NUMPAGE

Thank you. Your suggestion will work fine as long as there is not more than
1 other section besides the envelope......however, this is frequently not the
case and many documents have more than 1 section besides the envelope. I
think the suggestion to make an option to exclude an envelope from page count
would seem to cover all situations. Thanks again.

Hi ?B?QmFycnk=?=,

When an envelope is added to a document it is counted as a page as far as
{NUMPAGE} is concerned. So if there is an envelope and 2 pages, the footer
says "Page 0 out of 3, PAGE 1 OUT OF 3 AND Page 2 out of 3. Not good for
legal documents that need to tell the total number of real pages. Suggest
that the envelope not be counted as a page by {NUMPAGE}

1. Set up separate headers and footers for the document. Make sure "Same as
Previous is turned off". Define a header/footer for the document pages, but
not for the envelope section.

2. In order to get only the pages in the document section, use the file
SECTIONPAGES.
