You need to use a section break in order to have a different header on
different pages. "MVL" wrote: Please help - we are trying to number pages in a 15 page document using page x of y format (in header view) starting from a different page other than page one? Thank You |

Thank You The "y" in the standard AutoText entry "Page x of y" is a NumPages field, which can only count the total number of pages in the document. If you have partitioned your document with a section break, and the "y" you want is the number of pages in that section, you can replace the NumPages field with a SectionPages field. If that doesn't suit your needs, the alternative is workable but a bit clumsy. - Insert a bookmark on the last page that you want to count. - Replace the NumPages field with a PageRef field that points to that bookmark. For example, if you name the bookmark LastPage, then the field code will look like {PageRef LastPage} To insert this field, you can either go through the Insert Field dialog, or right-click the existing NumPages field and select Toggle Field Codes, then edit the code, right-click and choose Update Field. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
