Default Syntax Problem with footer on last page

You can also use the Insert Page Number and Insert Number of Pages buttons
on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert these fields.

No! Aha! That's the solution. I thought manually doing the brackets
would have worked and didn't realise had to do ctrl F9 for those as
well. Thanks v. much for your help!

Did you insert both { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } as fields as well?

Hi,


I am trying to get a different footer on my last page. I have
inserted;


IF {PAGE} = {NUMPAGES} "Last Page" "Not Last Page"


into the footer having pressed ,ctrl.F9. But is says "Not Last Page"
for all 3 pages in my simple test document. Curiously, if I take the
single space either side of the "=" sign, then it changes to "Last
Page" for all 3 pages.


As I mentioned, it is a simple test document, with no section breaks
or anything, so any other trouble-shooting advice gratefully received.
