Conditional fields
I'm just starting to appreciate and understand conditional fields in page
numbering. Although I don't at this time need to have the following circumstances apply, I was just thinking "what if?" Suppose I wish to have the Page 1 header of a document read "Beginning" and the last page to read "The End" with all pages in between showing the actual page numbers. Could I do this all in one header or do I need to divide the document into sections? |

Yes, you could do this.
Oh, you want to know how? The easiest way to get "Beginning" is to enable "Different first page" and put "Beginning" in the First Page Header. For End, use a field such as this: { IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "End" { PAGE } } -- Suzanne S.

IG,
You could do it all in a nested conditional field: { IF { Page }="1""Beginning"{ If { Page }={ NumPages }"End"{ Page } } } -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

You can do it in one section - and indeed in one header.
Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm.
