Excluding front and back cover from page count
I have a booklet; the first page is the front cover and the last page is the
back cover. How can I exclude these two pages from the page count? I have page X of Y in my footer, but I don't want to include these two pages. |

Excluding front and back cover from page count
Page X of Y represents the construction "Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES },"
where { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } are fields. What you will need to do is use a calculated field instead of the NumPages field. To achieve this: 1. Display field codes (Alt+F9) so you can see what you're working with. 2. Before the { NUMPAGES } field, type an equals sign; after the field, type " - 2" (without the quotation marks). This will give you: = { NUMPAGES } - 2 3. Select that entire phrase and press Ctrl+F9 to convert it to a field. It will now display: { = { NUMPAGES } - 2 } 4. Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update if necessary. -- Suzanne S.
