Page X of Y numbering in Microsoft Word
I create and edit many scientific technical documents with Table of
Contents and usually several other sections. Our scientist like to receive documents that list Page X of Y numbering so they know they are not missing any pages. Microsoft is good with the "X" number because I can start new numbering on the first section of the document after the Table of Contents. The problem is the "Y" number counts the entire document, including the cover page and Table of Contents. Does anyone have a solution for correcting the Y number to count what I need it to? We would like the have the "Y" number count all the pages from the point we re-start the numbering after the Table of Contents. Thanks in advance for any assistance to this problem. |

Page X of Y numbering in Microsoft Word
The Y part is currently a { NUMPAGES } field. You need to change
Y to a { SECTIONPAGES } field. Open the header or footer where the page numbers are, press Alt+F9 to display field codes, change the field, press Alt+F9 to display field results, and close the header or footer.

Page X of Y numbering in Microsoft Word
The way we handled that was to insert a bookmark at the end of each section
that required page numbers. Then, in the footer, we inserted a cross-reference to the page number of the bookmark. We named the bookmarks with things like Main-Body-Pages or App-A-Pages, so we could easily link to the right one. We had to insert a warning into the bookmark saying "Do not delete this." Otherwise it got deleted and the page numbers broke again. I hope this helps.

Sometimes we will have a multi-section "section" in a document. For example,
we might have a landscape table in the main body of the document. I've always used a section break before and after a landscape page, which would mean that the main body would span three or more sections in the document. Would your {SECTIONPAGES} code work in a situation like this? Can you modify it to say something like {SECTION7PAGES} to code to the page number of the correct section?

This is the same situation we have with our documents. When I tried
this in a multi section document, it is only counting that section's pages (I do have "same as previous" turned on). The page number (X number) is correct but the section number (Y number) is only that section. An example I am seeing 118 of 20.
