page numbering
Hey guys and gals,
The document I'm working with is as follows: first page header - section 1 - Title Page (Page 1) ---section break (next page)---- header - section 2 - Text (Page 2) Text (Page 3) Text (Page 4) Text (Page 5) Text (Page 6) I would like to have the text pages' headers read "Page 1 of 5", "Page 2 of 5", .... and have the title page's header empty. I can get almost everything to work correctly except for one thing. I can't get it to count the cumulative page number correctly. It will start counting the cumulative page number starting with the title page. So it counts the pages like this: Title Page (header empty) ---section break (next page) Text (Page 1 of 2) Text (Page 2 of 3) and so on... This is extremely frustrating!! I've done everything short of the {PAGE} thingy. I'd like to avoid doing that if all possible. I know this can be done, because I've done this before, I just can't remember how I managed to do it. Please Help!! |

It would be interesting to see how you are numbering your pages without the
{ Page } thingy as you call it :-). Press ALT+F9 and see if that thingy isn't there already. You can use {PAGE} of {SECTIONPAGES} to generate the display you desire.

Thanks for the suggestion, I got it fixed. It had {PAGE} of {NUMBER OF
PAGES} in there. I changed the second one to your suggestion {SECTIONPAGES} and now it's fixed! HURRAY!! Man! I was getting frustrated. Thanks again. "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

Well it displayed correctly, however when I printed it out it reverted to
the old format (although nothing had changed). I had to go in and manually change the {PAGE}of {SECTIONPAGES} pages to a 5 (manually) when I printed it out. "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...
