How to do footer "Page X of Y" where Y=sections 2-Z
I want a footer that says "Page X of Y" in a document that has multiple
sections. The first section is a cover page and TOC, so I don't want those pages included in the count. The document is being used as a template, so the number of sections may vary. The section breaks are necessary because some pages are portrait while others are landscape. I know about using {SECTIONPAGES} and I'm hoping there's a similar field that will give the specific results I'm looking for. I'll really appreciate any advice I can get! Thanks! |

How to do footer "Page X of Y" where Y=sections 2-Z
Page {Page} of {Numpages} will work, but you need to set the page numbering
to continue from the previous section at each new section. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Beth Obenshain wrote: I want a footer that says "Page X of Y" in a document that has multiple sections.

How to do footer "Page X of Y" where Y=sections 2-Z
Graham: Thanks for responding. However, NUMPAGES shows the number of pages in
the doc. I don't want the pages in section 1 to be included in the page count. Is there a way to do that?

How to do footer "Page X of Y" where Y=sections 2-Z
I have a similar (but probably more complex) issue ...
I have a user that wants page numbers on all pages except the last page. So if there are 7 pages total, the pages numbers on the first six pages should be "1 of 6", "2 of 6" and so forth. I found a solution that recommended placing a bookmark at the end of the last page and using the PAGEREF field code instead of NUMPAGES. However, if the document gets changed, I fear the bookmark will have to be recreated on each document. The document is a template that is used to create several documents a day by several users. So having to fix the issue for every document isn't an option. And the template has several section breaks. Any ideas?

If you deduct the cover page and the TOC page from the count you could use
instead Page {Page} of {={Numpages} - 2} -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Beth Obenshain wrote: Graham: Thanks for responding.

{IF {Page} {Numpages}"{Page} of {={Numpages} - 1}"}

How to do footer "Page X of Y" where Y=sections 2-Z
Thanks Graham! That's exactly what I was looking for.
If I took this a step further, I'd be looking to automate the value of "2" in your example below. Is it possible to do this in a formula? In other words, is there a way to write: Page {Page} of {={Numpages} - Numpages in Section 1} "Graham Mayor" wrote: If you deduct the cover page and the TOC page from the count you could use instead Page {Page} of {={Numpages} - 2} -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Beth Obenshain wrote: Graham: Thanks for responding.

How to do footer "Page X of Y" where Y=sections 2-Z
I forgot to mention ... We currently use a similar formula and it produces
the correct result. Our formula: {Page} of {=(-1) + {NumPages}} But ... The documents are stored in a SharePoint library that forces check-out, so the documents open in Read-Only mode. When the document is opened in Read-Only mode, the {=(-1) + {NumPages}} doesn't calculate. Once they click Check Out, it will display the page numbers. However, the users batch print several documents and don't want to have check out all the documents just to get the page numbers to display. They used to manually type the page numbers, but once the documents get revised the page numbers all have to be manually changed.

OK - somewhere convenient in Section 1, where it will not be accidentally
deleted, enter a SET field thus { SET A "{ SectionPages }" } Then replace the suggested field with Page {Page} of {={Numpages} - { A }} -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Beth Obenshain wrote: Thanks Graham!
