Using Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { }, insert the
following field into the footer:

{ IF { PAGE } = 1 { PAGE } { IF { PAGE } = 2 "2a" { IF { PAGE } = 3 "2b" { =
{ PAGE } - 1 } } } }

Your pages will then be numbered 1, 2a, 2b, 3, 4, 5, etc

Hi there,

Any suggestions that I can able to change the page number in the footer
(eg.
page 1, page 2a, page 2b, page 3) rather than drawing a text box?
