Only display Pg 1 number when more than 1 page
We're in the process of upgrading to Word 2007 and I'm currently looking at
how to migrate/update our templates. One annoyance I've had is the old way our firm handled page numbering - we used to manually type ".../#" at the bottom of each page. Obviously everything needed to be reformatted if text was changed. At the moment I've created a footer that shows Page X of Y commencing page 2 with the first page being different. However, I'd also like to have Page 1 of Y showing IF there's more than 1 page. Is there a way to do this? |

Yes. You need an IF field:

I added this to my template however it's returning NUMPAGES.
Are the spaces before & after the fields important? I've tried keeping the spaces and removing the spaces to no effect. I also tried another IF field after further research in the discussion groups but none of them seem to work properly - rather frustrating! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Yes.

You should be getting the number of pages as your Y. Are you getting the
text "NUMPAGES" instead? If so, did you insert all the fields using Ctrl+F9? The space before and after shouldn't matter; you do need a space between the IF condition formula and the TrueText (the part in quotes), and of course the spaces that are part of the TrueText. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the quick reply. I worked out what the problem was... I had
copied/pasted the entire text into ONE field, instead of inserting separate fields for the page numbering too (oops). "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You should be getting the number of pages as your Y.

Glad you got it sorted.
