Reverse page numbering
How do I number the pages in reverse? Number 1 on bottom page and highest
mumber on the top page? Is there such a feature? |

Do you actually want to number the pages in reverse or just print the output
in reverse order? If the latter, check the "Reverse print order" box on the Print tab of Tools | Options. If the former, see http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...FAQ.htm#RevNbr, but I doubt that this would work for page numbering. -- Suzanne S.

To number the pages in reverse, use a nested field,
{ = { NUMPAGES } - { PAGES } + 1} -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

I want to do the former, have the pages numbered in reverse as they appear in
the document on the computer, not during Printing. The link you provided is probably right on target. However, I am not sure what to do with those codes and where to insert them. I am not a computer programmer. Do you know if MS plans on having this feature installed/programmed on future Word software versions? I am still interested on exercising the "Fields" option if you can be of more help. Thanks much! Ο χρήστης "Suzanne S.

See Jay's reply, which should give you what you want. If you don't know how
to use those fields, post back. -- Suzanne S.

When I try to enter these codes in the header or footer of the document it
gives me a syntax error. I do it via the Insert--Field menu. What am I not doing correctly? Should I enter the code in a different place? Thank you.

As a shortcut, you can use the Insert Page Number and Insert Number of Pages
buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert the { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } fields. -- Suzanne S.
