Change # of pages to reflect only pages after forematter?
I need to create a template to use for mulitple documents, and the client
prefers we use page x of y. Can I change y to equal the count of the pages to not include the forematter? I have multiple sections, so I can't use that field. No clue if this would be possible. |

Edit the Pages field so that it reads { = { NUMPAGES } - x } where x are the
number of pages in the fore matter. This can be automated further if needed by including a hidden bookmarked SECTIONPAGES field in the fore matter and using the bookmark result in place of x. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "stickcc" wrote in message ...

Thanks so much. Now I'm not sure how to edit the pages field. When I click on
edit field, and the Field window opens, I went to Field Codes button where I entered the bracketed information, but it wouldn't let me save it. How do you edit the field?

I figured out how to edit the field by doing Shift-F9 to display the field. I
put it in exactly how you wrote it and I'm getting this !Syntax Error, { Any suggestions? "stickcc" wrote: Thanks so much. Now I'm not sure how to edit the pages field.

Hi stickcc,
In the second section of your document: .. open the header or footer .. make sure the header/footer is not not set to 'continue from previous' In your first section (ie the one containing the forematter): .. open the header or footer .. select the final paragraph mark .. press Ctrl-F9 twice to create set of nested fields (ie '{{ }}') .. fill in arround the field braces thus: '{SET NoNumber {SECTIONPAGES}}' .. position the selection point anywhere within these fields and press F9 to update In the second section of your document: .. open the header or footer .. select the final paragraph mark .. press Ctrl-F9 twice to create set of nested fields (ie '{{ }}') .. fill in arround the field braces thus: '{={NUMPAGES}-NoNumber}' .. position the selection point anywhere within these fields and press F9 to update -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "stickcc" wrote in message ...

The { } brackets must be inserted using Ctrl+F9 as they are actually special
characters masquerading as ordinary { } brackets. Terry "stickcc" wrote in message ... I figured out how to edit the field by doing Shift-F9 to display the field.

I've never used the SET NoNumber field to hide it. Thanks for that useful tip. Terry "macropod" wrote in message ...

Thanks to both of you for your help! I knew there had to be a way to get
around this issue. "Terry Farrell" wrote: Macropod I've never used the SET NoNumber field to hide it. Thanks for that useful tip. Terry "macropod" wrote in message ...
