Word 2003, Page Numbering X of Y - a variation?
I have a 5-page document, divided into sections. Page numbering begins on
(real) page 2 but is numbered 1, as the first page is intentionally blank. If I use Page X of Y (Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}), my document reads 1 of 5 etc (beginning on page 2). Is there any way that I can automatically get Word to use the "virtual" number of pages, so that the footer would read 1 of 4 etc? Thanks in advance Amanda |

I fail to find anything in that article (which I wrote) that would solve
your problem. If your document has only two sections, you can use the SectionPages field instead of NumPages for the Y figure, or (regardless of the number of sections) you can use a calculated field such as: { = { NUMPAGES } - 1 } -- Suzanne S.
