Page number inside table
Using Word 2000, is it possible to insert a "Page x of y" type command in a
cell in the table that updates itself for the correct page number and total number of pages? The top row is set as a heading row that repeats automatically on each new page and that is where the cell is where we'd like to have the automatic page numbering. Thanks in advance for any help provided. |

The problem is that the text of the table heading row is calculated on the first page of the table and then simply repeated on the other pages; it doesn't recalculate the field results on each page, the way the page header does. You'll have to put the "Page x of y" either in the page header or in the first non-heading row of the table on each page (which would have to be moved if the table is edited later). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

I placed the heading row of the table (with the page numbering) in the header so the page numbering will work. Only problem was I couldn't get rid of the blank line at the end of the header so the rest of the table that starts right below the header looks like it is actually 'part' of the header, and therefore, one big table. I tried to move the header margin up (by sliding the vertical ruler) but that blank space wouldn't go away. I had to change the spacing for that blank line to .06 (the smallest spacing possible according to the warning I received when I tried to go smaller). Is there any other way to get rid of that blank line at the end of the header? Again, thanks for the info, it really helped. |

Word requires a text paragraph (even if empty) after a table, but if you
format it as Hidden, it should disappear. -- Suzanne S.

Select the paragraph mark and then use Format, Font and check the Hidden
option. Note that it only disappears when the ShowAll command is off because the ShowAll command displays hidden text. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "sf" wrote in message ... : On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 18:46:00 -0600, "Suzanne S.
