Page Numbering within Sections
I have a Word template document with 3 sections:
The first section contains one page which is not numbered. The second section contains 3 pages which are automatically numbered via inserting Page x of y and then converting y to a SECTIONPAGES field resulting in Pages 1 of 4, 2 of 4, and 3 of 4. So all is good up to this point. However, the 4th and final page is in landscape format and thus becomes the third section, but is being numbered 4 of 1 even though the 1 is a SECTIONPAGES field and the section is linked to previous and is listed as "same as previous". So the page number is correct, but the page total is incorrect. How do I get this automated number to represent all the pages of section 2 and 3 like in section 2. Thanx in advance for a fix for this! Rhonda |

Page Numbering within Sections
Have you updated the fields since changing the { NUMPAGES } field to {
SECTIONPAGES }? If in the second Section of the document, you have { PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES }, and you update the fields, the pages will be numbered 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 (If you have the page numbering in that Section set to Start from 1. The final page is in a Section that only contains one page, so the SectionPages field will display 1. If you want to have no number on the first page and then the rest of the pages numbered 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4 and 4 of 4, then you either type the 4 in or use the following field construction { = { NUMPAGES } - 1 } -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
