Is it possible to use two different page number formats on same pa
I have a document with multiple appendicies. Each appendix is outline
numbered A, B, C, etc. and in each one the page numbers are formatted with the corresponding chapter number (Appendix number, A, B C, etc.). The result is page A-#, or B-#, etc. Now here is the problem: I also would like to include the overall page number in the document. For example, if the page right before my first appendix is 258 then on the first page of Appendix A I would like to have "Page A-1, Overall Page 259". Is this possible? If I change the format of one page number field, it changes them both. Any help or idea solutions are greatly appreciated. |

It is possible to have two different page numbers in some circumstances but
I have found it unreliable. One way to do what you want is to define a variable on the first page of the appendix. In the body of the document, immediately before the appendix start, add a field: { Set AppStart { Page } } (where the braces are entered via Ctrl+F9). Then update the field to make sure the value is stored. Now, in your header put: { If { AppStart } { Page } "" { Quote "Page A-" { =({ Page } - { AppStart } + 1 )} ", Overall " } }Page { Page } } (where, again, the braces are entered via Ctrl+F9). When you update fields in the header you should - if I've typed it correctly - get what you ask for. If you have to update fields later, always update fields in the body first then fields in the header (remembering that fields in the header will get automatically updated in some circumstances - printing, for instance). -- Enjoy, Tony "Geo Wolfcanes" wrote in message ...
