I want to number the body of a report using Page x of y, but I can't figure
out how to exclude front material such as cover and toc from the total number of pages y. |

The first step is to separate the front matter from the rest of the document with a section break, as described in these articles: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...rontMatter.htm http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...atter_2007.htm Assuming that the rest of the document is a single section, you can then replace the {NUMPAGES} field that displays the "y" value with a {SECTIONPAGES} field. To do that, right-click the field and choose Edit Field. In the dialog, choose SectionPages in the list and click OK. If the rest of the document consists of multiple sections, you can work around it as follows: Insert a bookmark on the last numbered page of the document. Now click the "y" number and choose Edit Field, choose PageRef from the list, and choose the bookmark name in the second column of the dialog. Click OK. If the document is edited later, be careful not to delete the bookmark or to add more material after it -- keep it on the last page. -- 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. |
