Is there a way to have Word 97 give a page number of total page numbers, but,
have Word start counting the total number of pages in the document after the
1st section break? What I want is to have the page 1 of 30 that is now
showing actually be 1 of 27 instead. This is becasue the 1st 3 pages, before
the 1st section break , are the front matter pages containing the title page
and TOC.

Never mind...I didn't scour the forum far enough. I just found a thread
discussing section page numbering versus the document page numbering. I
substituted the {SECTIONPAGES} for the {NUMPAGES} and I now have exactly what
I need.

So thanks anyhow!

Never mind...I didn't scour the forum long enough. I just found a thread that
solved my problem (using {SECTIONPAGES} instead of {NUMPAGES}).

thanks anyhow.
