Document with Section Breaks & Footers
I have been reading these posts, the word.mvps.org site, etc. and cannot
figure out my problem. I have a document with two sections. The first section has a footer containing "Page 1 of 6", and the second section has a blank footer. I have been able to get the second section to appear blank, BUT my numbering in the first section shows "Page 1 of 7" instead of 6. I only want it to count the pages in the first section, but it's counting the 2nd section as page 7. Help! |

Press Alt+F9 to display field codes, change the { NUMPAGES } field in
the footer to a { SECTIONPAGES } field, and press Alt+F9 again to display field results. monkey1964 wrote: I have been reading these posts, the word.mvps.org site, etc. and cannot figure out my problem.

Document with Section Breaks & Footers
I did what you suggested but the SectionPages field keeps defaulting to a
total page count of 1 instead of 2. So my footers read "S1 of S1, S2 of S1". I've updated the fields but it still comes out the same way. Any suggestions?

Thanks. That problem is fixed.
I have another issue and I don't know if or how it can be done. Example: I have a document with 19 pages with a need to be used for different purposes. There are two pages in section 1 with page numbering "X of 19". There are 4 pages in section 2 with page numbering based on it's own section pages "SX of S4". Sections 3-5 have the remainder of the pages numbered like section 1 "X of 19". I would like to be able to have sections 1 and 3-5 have the page numbering say X of 15. The pages in section 2 will eventually be pulled out to be a stand alone document. Sections 1, 3-5 will also remain together as a stand alone document. And thirdly all sections (1-5) will remain together as a document for a third purpose. Is this possible? If so, how?

I have section 2 page numbering (Synopsis) set differently from the rest of the document so that it can be a standalone document as needed. I used SECTION PAGES field code to set it up with the numbering SX of SX. Can I set up the Table of Contents page number for this section to include this label "S"? Currently it says: 1. Signature Page.....2 2. Synopsis..............1 3. ToC.....................3 I want it to say: 1. Signature Page.....2 2. Synopsis..............S1 3.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
This worked and was such a simple fix. I'd read other similar posts and the suggestions didn't work. You are "MY HERO"!

New problem. . .
This fixed the problem so that I get page x of y for each separate section IF I print one-sided pages; however, when I ask for double sided pages, it prints out page x of x again. This happens no matter which printer I send it to. Any thoughts? "Perplexed" wrote: Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! This worked and was such a simple fix.
