Need to add 'total pages' to footer (ie Page 2 of 5)
In the Insert tab, click the Page Number dropdown arrow, Bottom of Page.
Scroll down the list of choices. The first group is Simple, then Page X, and then Page X of Y. There are 3 built-in choices. Or... if you already have Page x, type " of " after the page number, press Ctrl+F9 (inserts field braces {}), type numpages between the braces, and press F9. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "r3craven" wrote in message ...

Need to add 'total pages' to footer (ie Page 2 of 5)
My document is a bit more complex, and I need some help.
The document contains 6 sections, and all of the page numbering is within the footers. Section 1: Title page + TOC Section 2: Main document Section 3: One page that needs to be landscape in this order Section 4: Main document...continued Section 5: Appendix A Section 6: Appendix B and C which are landscape This is how I'd like my document to be numbered. Section 1: Title page (first page) has is counted but shows no number. Page 2 and 3 have roman numerals (ii, iii). I have manged to do this. Section 2: Page X of Y, starting from 1, counting until the end of Section 4. Section 3: Same as above Section 4: Same as above I can get the 'Page X of ' part correctly, but getting Word to understand what I mean by 'Y' is difficult. I'd like this to be dynamic (i.e. not requiring me to do a manual count and stick in a number each time) Section 5: Page A1, Page A2...etc Section 6: Page B1, Page B2...Page C1, Page C2...etc I don't know how to get the 'A' in front of the page number, without manually sticking it in. Likewise with the 'B' and 'C'. TIA Hafeez Esmail "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: In the Insert tab, click the Page Number dropdown arrow, Bottom of Page. Scroll down the list of choices.

Need to add 'total pages' to footer (ie Page 2 of 5)
Right......but how can I determine the total number of pages in sections 2, 3
and 4? In other words, how do I find {SECTIONPAGES} for section 2 + {SECTIONPAGES} for section 3 + {SECTIONPAGES} for section 4? TIA Hafeez Esmail "Suzanne S.

If you are numbering these sections continuously, then put a bookmark on the
last page of Section 4 and use a PAGEREF field to pick up the page number of that bookmark. -- Suzanne S.

Need to add 'total pages' to footer (ie Page 2 of 5)
The following is one way to do it: Insert a SECTIONPAGES field in each of
the three sections (place the field in the body of the document, not in the header/footer area). Bookmark the fields, format them as hidden (or white text), so that they won't be visible. Where you want the total number of pages, use this field: { = { REF bm1 \* CHARFORMAT } + { REF bm2 \* CHARFORMAT } + { REF bm3 \* CHARFORMAT } } where bm# should be replaced with the bookmark names that you chose. To insert each pair of field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. To update the display of the selected fields, press F9. To show/hide field codes, press Alt+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Hafeez Esmail" wrote in message ... Right......but how can I determine the total number of pages in sections 2, 3 and 4?

Hmm, it seems as if the OP is using continuous numbering. Then, clearly,
your suggestion is better than the one I suggested (four minutes later)... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
