Page numbering-Multi sections
Hi,
I have a 4 section doc of 30 pages in total and have had quite some trouble with footer page and section numbers. The pages as viewed are fine, but not when printed. The first section (Cover page) prints without a footer as per requirement. The second and third sections print Page 2 of 3, Page 3 of 4, etc. The code I have used is Page {PAGE} of {SECTIONPAGES} The actual page numbers are correct, but the section number is only the page number plus one, so I do not have a total page tally. Any help please Dave |

Page numbering-Multi sections
If you have used an Odd Page section start and Word has had to add a blank
even page, the blank page is unfortunately counted as the first page of the section, which is technically correct, since it occurs after the section break, but logically incorrect since it is not numbered 1. Rereading your question, however, it appears that perhaps you are *not* restarting numbering in each section and therefore want the total number of pages in the document; in that case, you should be using the NUMPAGES field instead of SECTIONPAGES. This is what you will get automatically if you insert the Page X of Y AutoText entry from the Header and Footer toolbar. -- Suzanne S.
