Footnotes- How set page numbers by section, and ony that section
I must be an idiot. I have a 50+ page document with 2 sections. The 1st
section is just table of contents and header page. I finally got the table of contents to work after some trial and error. In section 2, I want to add page #s, ideally page X of Y. However I want Y to be the total of pages in Section 2, not the whole document. I keep getting Y where Y = total pages in document, not on section. In addition, when I put it in as footer I get page numbers in Section 1, which I do not want. I have read the help windows regarding €śfields€ť, but frankly there not very clear. I can usually figure these things out but I have run out of patience on this. Help! |

Press Alt+F9 to display the field code and change NUMPAGES to SECTIONPAGES.
Then Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update. -- Suzanne S.
