Long document special page numbering
Hello everyone,
Puzzle: How to number a long document with amendment pages? That is once an official document is written and paginated, it will change through amendments throughout the years.Is it possible to number the "new" pages like the following example: Page 300-01. The original document is page 300 but the new version with change bar and all should have a dash 01 etc. All suggestions are welcomed Gilles Desjardins |

Long document special page numbering
There is no way that can be done automatically, and I would strongly suggest
that you do not do it, as, over the years other things will change such as the printer that you use to print the document and that may result in a change in the way that the document is paginated. It is the sort of thing that was done in the days of typewriters. You are in the computer age now and should take advantage of the improvements in technology that have been introduced with it. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug,
Perhaps we move in the computer world, you & I, but the city councils don't. ;-) Gilles "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Tell them to use a type writer to put the number on each page. g
You can do something like {IF { PAGE } 300 { IF { PAGE } 304 "{ = { PAGE } - { SEQ extra }-{ = { PAGE } -300 \# "00" }" "{ = { PAGE } - 3 }"} { PAGE } } But using a typewriter is probably easier. Of course, if you are just printing the extra pages, and they are in a separate document, then you can use 300-0{ PAGE } Then you pages will be numbered 300-01, 300-02, 300-03, etc. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug, awesome programming twist & pirouettes.
