how do i use the "Sectionpages" command for mult. sections
I have a multiple section document in word. I am trying to use the
"Sectionpages" command for page numbering in the footer. I have a "sectionbreak" between the header and footer on a page and because the footer (i beleive) is linked to the header it is taking the total number of pages from the previous section rather than the one that I wish to have numbered. Any ideas |

Any ideas When there is a continuous section break in the middle of a page, the SectionPages field always considers that page to belong to the first section that occurs on the page. To fake the opposite behavior, you could (a) remove the Same As Next attribute from the footer of the second section so the two sections don't share the same footer, and then (b) use the field code { = {SectionPages} - 1} in the earlier section and { = {SectionPages} + 1} in the later section. To make these "nested" fields, you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field braces. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
