Pages in section
Hi
I have a document and need to have page x of y in the footer. The document consists of 2 sections, the first being the title page and the second is the body. I have in the footer placed the necessary fields and started the numbering at 1 for the section. The document contains 9 pages including the title page, but the footer contains the text page 1 of 9, yet there are only 8 pages in the body. How can I get it to show page 1 of 8? TJ |

Tony,
Have you considered using the section pages field. This would give you what you want. Go to Insert - fields - numbering section - select SectionPages - OK. If the starting number for the section is set to 1 as you said it should give you 1-8. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Tony Wainwright" schreef in bericht ...

Display the header/footer area and then press Alt+F9 to show field
codes. Modify the { NUMPAGES } field so that it reads { SECTIONPAGES }. Press F9 to update and then press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tony Wainwright" wrote in message ...
