i have a document automation process that gets run in access through
VBA. i'm trying to insert a fax cover sheet that is custom to the
record being merged with access. all the merging and automation is
fine. my problem is this: the fax cover sheet goes at the beginning of
the document (naturally), so this means that the rest of the document
(the main document or report) is offset by one page. i have page
numbers in the header of the report that get offset (so pg 2 or the
report is 3 and so on). of course it's page 3 in the word document as
a whole, but for a fax transmission it is intended to be page 2. is
there a way that i can mark the first page as a cover page and have it
not count as a page for the auto page number? as in, can i offset the
pages after the first page by (-1). please help, i hope there's a way
to do this. thanks!
