MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / October 2003page numbering - should be easy
I have a document where I've inserted "page x of y" into the footer. There are several sections where I've told the page numbers to continue after "starting" at section 3. The "last" page reads Page 97 of 106. How do I stop the y value of 106 from including the first couple of sections. By the way, Page 1 starts at the beginning of Section 3 and "continues" across the remaining sections. I hope I've explained this right. I really need to get this working soon. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Diana Instead of using the NumPages field for your Y, insert a bookmark on the last page (currently page 97) and insert a cross-reference to the page number of that bookmark. -- Suzanne S.

I think it'll work. I would have never thought of that one, and I've come up with some strange workarounds. I'll give it a try. Thanks, once again.

Thanks. > > Diana My goodness, Suzanne ... here's a mystery for you. As you suggested, I put in the reference and it worked throughout the document. Now ... ready for this. I pdf'd the file and you'll never believe what showed up where I put that field. Page 1 of 1, page 2 of 2, page 3 of 3, page 4 of 4 ... well, I think you see the trend. It's wild! What the h.... happened!. This is going to drive me to drin... If you, or someone else has seen this and has a fix, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm using Word XP (2002) I did a print preview (after visiting your web page that discusses this problem). In a print preview, the page numbering is different again. Here's how the 97-page document views: Page 1 of 2, page 2 of 3, page 3 of 4 ... this is even different than how it shows in PDF (which I printed to). I can't use the PDF integration tool, because I get memory errors (probably due to the TOC). Diana >-----Original Message----- >My goodness, Suzanne ... here's a mystery for you.

Well Suzanne, Although your site says that the fixes won't work on Word verions past 2000, I tried the easiest trick of using print preview ... but had to do it a few times, before the numbering showed up correctly, but that did work on my XP version. I re-pdf'd the file and the pages are find with the reference used to show the total number of pages. Go figure! I'm glad I tried it. Thanks for making it available. Diana >-----Original Message----- >PS ... I'm using Word XP (2002) [quoted text clipped - 98 lines] >> >. I guess the lesson from this is that persistence pays off! But I don't think the message of the FAQ is meant to be that the fixed don't work on versions past 2000 but that they are not (or should not be) needed. -- Suzanne S.

Understood. Many thanks again for all your help. Diana >-----Original Message----- >I guess the lesson from this is that persistence pays off! But I don't think [quoted text clipped - 134 lines] > >.
