Page numbering adding sections together
I am using a Page X or Y format.
I need the Y to have the total number of pages for Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the document. Is it possible to add the value using SECTIONPAGES for three sections? Thanks, Kamran. |

Thanks, Kamran. Hi Kamran, You can't do it that way, because anywhere that you use a SECTIONPAGES field it will evaluate to the number of pages in that section. There's no way to say something like {SECTIONPAGES Section 3} + {SECTIONPAGES Section 4} + {SECTIONPAGES Section 5}. What you can do (assuming page numbering restarts at 1 in Section 3 and continues through Section 5) is place a bookmark on the last page of Section 5. Let's say you name that bookmark LastPage. Then in your Page X of Y format, make Y be represented by the field {PAGEREF LastPage}. You do have to be careful not to delete the bookmark, to avoid "Page X of ERROR! Bookmark not defined!" -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Thanks, Jay. I was afraid that would be the case. The PAGEREF field works
