number of pages to not include title and toc
I'm using Office Word 2003 sp3. I have a 14 page document with Title page on
page 1, TOC on pages 2-3, and content on pages 4-14. I have a section break after the Title page, after the TOC, and a 3 section breaks throughout the content pages. I want to start the the Page Number at page 1 on the first page of the content (page 4). I can go into Page Number Format and Start at 1. The number of pages shows 14. I want the number of pages to not include the Title page (section) or the TOC pages (section)....so I want the number of pages to be 11. How can I do this? -- Jesse |

The number of pages is displayed by a field, {NUMPAGES}. This always returns the total number of physical pages in the document. You need to modify that field. The first step is to display the field code, by right-clicking it and choosing Toggle Field Codes. The quick but hard-to-maintain method is to subtract the number of frontmatter pages from the total, by wrapping the {NUMPAGES} field in an equation field: { = {NUMPAGES} - 3 } If the number of frontmatter pages changes -- say, if the TOC grows to overflow to the next page -- this field won't give the right value any more and will need to be adjusted. A better solution is to put a bookmark on the last page the content; let's say you name the bookmark LastPage. Then replace the {NUMPAGES} field with { PAGEREF LastPage } which will show the correct value regardless of what happens before the bookmark. There are two things to watch out for with this: - If the bookmark is deleted (easy to do if you don't have bookmarks displayed at all times), the field will display "Error! Bookmark not defined." Then you need to go to the end of the document and reinsert the bookmark. - If anything is added after the bookmark that adds more pages, the number shown by the field won't change. -- 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. |

number of pages to not include title and toc
On the title page, insert { SET pagecount1 { SECTIONPAGES } }. Similarly, in
the section containing the TOC, insert { SET pagecount2 { SECTIONPAGES } }. Then replace the NUMPAGES field that counts the total number of pages with this formula field: { = { NUMPAGES } - { REF pagecount1 } - { REF pagecount2 } }. To insert each pair of field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Type the codes as shown. Press F9 to update the field(s) at the insertion point. Note that fields do not update automatically. To force an update of fields in the selection, you can press F9. Switching to Print Preview and then back to your current view also does the trick. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jesse" wrote in message ... I'm using Office Word 2003 sp3.
