Number of pages should not include the Table of Content pages.
The number of page function should not include pages that contain a section
break (next page) otherwise when you get to your last page and it reads page 158 of 165 one would think they are missing 7 pages, not realizing that the page count includes the first 7 pages which is the Table of Contents. HOw do I fix this? |

Go in header/footer, unlink the footer from the previous one if necessary,
alt-F9 to toggle field codes, edit the field code from { NumPages} to {SectionPages} For detailed explanations of how to do all that, try these two links: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm On 7/28/05 7:45 AM, "Marilyn" wrote: The number of page function should not include pages that contain a section break (next page) otherwise when you get to your last page and it reads page 158 of 165 one would think they are missing 7 pages, not realizing that the page count includes the first 7 pages which is the Table of Contents.

This won't work because I have a number of section breaks through out the
document.

Then you'll need to use a calculated field: { = { NUMPAGES } - 7 }.
