What field for Page No THIS section in Text Box?
I am using Word XP (2002). I used Section Break - Continuous to create a
separate section inline with the rest of my document. I have the document page numbers in the footer. What I need to do is place a Text Box above the document page number that will give the page number of that section page - not as "Page X of Y", just "Page X". None of the fields appear to do this for me. Which one is right? Are there certain options to choose? Ed |

What field for Page No THIS section in Text Box?
The field { Page } gives the page number. Putting fields in text boxes is
not usually a good idea. Why are you doing this? What are you trying to accomplish? You can get variations on page numbering by using calculation fields. Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm. For even more, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Page_Numbering.htm. You might need to include the { SectionPages } field in the calculation at some point. It gives the number of pages in the current section (rather than in the document). -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

What field for Page No THIS section in Text Box?
In my report, I have had to include other reports. To insert these without
losing their formatting, I created a separate section using Section Break - Continuous. To show that these are inserted documents separate from my report, I have drawn a box around each inserted page. The page number of my report document shows in the footer. I need to show the page number of the inserted page inside the box outlining the page. TO so this, I have used a Text Box. Thanks for the links. I'll check those out. Or if my explanation needs a better way to do this, any help is appreciated. Ed "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ... The field { Page } gives the page number.

Look at Greg Maxey's article for your page numbering. It will give you a
good start. I think you may have to have a section break - new page for this to function, though. As far as the text box goes, I would use a Frame instead, anchored to the body text rather than in the header/footer. You can insert Frames in your document just like text boxes using the button on the Forms toolbar. Frames are an older construction in Word but have the advantage of being in the document layer rather than the drawing layer. This means you can select all of your text (Ctrl-A) and press F9 to update your fields in a Frame. Note, these fields will not update automatically, unlike the ones in the footer. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

I wound up using {= {PAGE} - XX }, where XX is the difference between the
document page I'm on and 1. Then I copied that text box onto each successive page. Thank you for the Frame info - I didn't realize the differences, especially the layers.
