MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008Page _ of _
A couple weeks ago CyberTaz was kind enough to answer my question about inserting Page _ of _. Today I finally got back to it to try his suggestion. In the instructions CT gave was "On the Insert Tab - Header & Footer Group click Page Number point to Bottom of Page or Top of Page, scroll down to the "X of Y" options". Everything worked just as CT said except so far I have not found anything resembling "X of Y". Where do you spose I go from here? All ideas, suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K. They start at about the 6th or 7th option down.

In that window Bottom of Page is selected. Alignment is Right. The box is checked for Show number on first page. I click Format and the Page Number window comes up. In the Number Format drop down menu there are 7 selections, none of which is "X of Y". "Chapter starts with style" is gray. "Use separator:" is gray. "Examples:" is gray. The radio button is selected for "Continue from previous section" in the Page Numbering section of that window. That's all I have been able to find. Am I looking in the right place? Do I have a version that does not offer Page X of Y? It's Word 2003. Is there something that needs turned on or off? All ideas, suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated.

This will open the Header pane and display the Header and Footer toolbar. On the toolbar, click on the Switch Between Header and Footer button to get to the footer. Then select Page X of Y from the AutoText menu on the toolbar. You'll need to use Ctrl+R to align this to the right, or, if the footer is to contain other text, press Tab twice to place it at the right-aligned tab stop at the right margin (and note that if you've changed the margins, you'll probably need to move the tab stop. Alternatively, use Insert | Page Numbers to insert a simple page number in the desired position. It will be inserted in a frame. Double-click in the header or footer to activate the header/footer story and display the Header and Footer toolbar. Select the page number and choose Page X of Y from the AutoText menu to replace it.

Both CyberTaz and JoAnn were under the impression that you had Word 2007. The way you get this in Word 2003 and earlier is completely different. Click the View menu and choose "Header and Footer" to open the header pane. At the same time, the Header & Footer toolbar should appear. On that toolbar, click "Insert AutoText" and choose "Page X of Y" from the bottom of the list. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. >Thank You for such a quick response.

Thanks, >>> > K. OOPS! Now I'm embarrassed. When I followed the instructions yall offered for 2003, I started remembering. The new unit at home is 2007 and that's where I was having the problem. In fact I've been avoiding 2007 for the past several months because it is so confusing but lately I've been forcing myself to do a little 2007 every night hoping to get half way decent on it before the end of the year. Then the other day here at work I was in 2003 and musta got confused because all of a sudden nothing looked familiar and I couldn't find Page _ of _ anywhere. At the moment, because of you guys, it seems as if I'm straightened back out. And now I can do Page _ of _ in 2007 too. Thanks everyone, appreciate your patience. Hopefully I'll get better at 2007 and these episodes will start going away. K. > A couple weeks ago CyberTaz was kind enough to answer my question about > inserting Page _ of _.

There are some formulas that you can use in 2007 that 2003 can't.
