"Hi, I'm trying to play around with Field Codes. I have a need for a document
to have two sets of page numbers at the bottom of the page.

The first set I have already established. It's standard page numbering
starting at 3611.

The second set should start at one. The numbering is consistent, so I'm
trying to use a field code in the footer to write the Page Number - 3610.

I tried using the following field code, but I received a syntax error:

=({PAGE} - 3610) \# "0" \* MERGEFORMAT

I've tried a few other things, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Any ideas?

Never mind, I figured it out. I think the field codes just didn't like me
using a regular set of {} instead of CTRL+F9. Thanks much!

Field delimiters, although they are represented on the screen by braces,
cannot be typed from the keyboard. They must be inserted using Ctrl+F9.
