Page of Pages as a formula
I read some other threads about this, but can't quite get what I want.
I would like to write a formula that essentially says: Page -1 of Pages -1 where a value of one is subtracted from each of the built-in fields. I typed this and could get the Page part to work, but could never get the Pages part to work. { = { PAGE } -1 } of { = { PAGES } -1 } Thanks in advance! Seth |

That's because the second field you want is called NumPages.

Thanks, it works great. I was thinking of Excel when you set custom header
and footers. I assumed all the "field" names would be the same between programs. Seth "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: That's because the second field you want is called NumPages. -- Suzanne S.
