Section Pages in Footer
My Word 2003 document has seven sections. In the first three sections, in
the footer, I would like to have page x of y, where x is the current page number and y is the page number of the first three sections. For example, if sections 1, 2, and 3 comprise 19 pages, the second page would be page 2 of 19. Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7 would each have their own footer with only the page numbers from the particular section being referenced. For example, if section 6 has 3 pages, the second page footer would say page 2 of 3. I know how to do link and unlink previous for footers, and I think I know how to do sections 4-7 (i.e., referencing just the pages of that one section) but I'm not sure about how to set up the page numbers how I want them in the first three sections. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Ross Payne |

Section Pages in Footer
Hi Ross,
Put a bookmark on the last page of section 3, naming it something like 'LastPage'. In the footer for the first three sections, set up the text and fields as Page {PAGE} of {PAGEREF LastPage} Be careful not to overwrite or delete the bookmark or to add more pages between the bookmark and the end of the section. -- 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.
