Word is limited; becuase i was only able to number upto 32766 pages in a
docuement. Is posible to increase the range for this application, or how can
i solve my problem.
Because i have a docuemnt of around 110,000 pages and i need to number all
the pages.

You may be able to do this with a calculated field: { = { PAGE } + x }. But
I would guess that 110,000 pages might be stretching even Word's limits.

I already split the document in several parts, but when i try to add the
number to the pages the program limits this in a range of 0 thru 32766.
Can you explain to me how I input the calculated field.

If I insert the field { = { PAGE } + 32766 }, Word happily gives me 32767.
Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field braces. Type =, click the Insert Page Number
button, then type + 32766. F9 to update.

Suzanne:
It is possible to make fill up the rest of the document with just one
instruction, becasue this way I would have to put the number on each page my
self; and as i already expose we are talking of around 110,00 pages?
Thanks for all your help.

As "macropod" says, it would be more satisfactory to break the document up,
but at least be aware that the field I have suggested will provide page
numbers from 32767 to 65532. After that (following a section break), you'd
have to use { = { PAGE } + 65532 } until you got to 98298, and so on.

I don't really know the maximum number of pages, but 32766 seems like it
might be it. One really simple way to solve the problem is to divide your
document into 2 parts. It's probably rather unwieldy as one document anyway.
Then start the 2nd document number at 32767, etc.

Thank's Rich for your promt response; but even if I Split the document in
several parts when I try to input the page numbers starting at 32766, the
program send and error telling that the range should be between 0 and 32766.
You can try it your self by trying to add numbers to a ten pages documents,
starting at 32766
Thank you again.

Hi Claudio,
32766 pages is the page numbering limit for a single document. beyond that you must use separate documents. Rather than using a
formula field to continue the same page numbering sequence (which a TOC will ignore anyway), I'd suggest you consider breaking your
document into separate 'Chapters' and numbering each Chapter - perhaps with a prefix indicating the Chapter number.
Cheers
