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.

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 !!!
