Each pair of the six pairs of curly brackets indicates a field
{ IF{ Page } 1 "Page { ={ Page }-1 } from { ={ Numpages }-1 }" } Type CTRL+F9 Type IF space between the brackets Type CTRL+F9 Type Page between the second set of brackets Complete the rest of the fields as above.

I have now used (CTRL+F9)... however I now get this error message "Error! Unknown op cod for conditional.Error! Unknown op code for conditional.Error!" and so on.... Is this because I only entered brackets {} and words PAGES and NUMPAGES using (CTRL+F9) and selecting appropiate fileds from ToolBar for PAGES and NUMPAGES expressions. Do I need to use similar method for words and signs like: from, IF, , 1 and " or these can be typed as a text.....? "Graham Mayor" wrote: These are fields not text. You need to insert the field boundaries {} with CTRL+F9 for each pair. Right click and toggle the display (or ALT+F9) then F9 to update to show the result. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Eli75 wrote: Hi Graham, I tried to copy your string into the footer but it just got displayed as it is ... { IF{ Page } 1 "Page { ={ Page }-1 } from { ={ Numpages }-1 }" } Should I enter some information extra or have I made some other mistake....? (I am using Office 2003). Thank you.

The following will start the numbering from page 2 in the manner required { IF{ Page } 1 "Page { ={ Page }-1 } from { ={ Numpages }-1 }" } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Eli75 wrote: Hi, I have difficulty to create document that thas a Front Page that is not numbered, but numbers start from Second Page in document and have to say "Page No from Number of Pages". The problem is that I always get figure for Number of Pages the number that includes Front Page.... I do know how to insert Section Breaks, I do know how to get Page No 1 on second page of whole document BUT IT IS "Number of Pages" that mess the whole process. |
