Solve : MS Word - Page Numbering?

Answer»

I have a document with a cover page (section 1), a table of contents (section 2), and then the main body of the document, which I had to split into 3 more section to accommodate a landscape formatted page in the middle of my portrait formatted document.
For the page numbering, I only want the main body of the document to be numbered, and I want to use the "Page X of Y" format. I have figured out how to get the page numbers, but my problem is the "total pages within the body of the document" (i.e. section 3, 4 and 5).
Maybe there is a field code out there, can anyone out there HELP me??

Thanks
DumbfoundedThe fast WAY is to create two documents. What version of Office? Are you setting up the page numbers in a header or footer? That's where you see the "Page X of Y" format, right?

What is it doing, does the total number of pages in the "Page X of Y" format include all pages, not just the pages in section 3, 4 and 5?

In MS office word 2003 header or footer are available.header or footer makes easy to store the documents and consumes less time .

[REMOVED link]There are field codes for automating both page numbers and total number of pages, which I have USED for writing hundreds of reports in a previous job of mine.

I did this - Set up a footer for page numbering. Then perhaps hit the Control - R key to get to the right margin. Then type/perform this: "Page" (space) (Insert Field - Choose Page from Field Names) (space) "of" (space) (Insert Field - Choose NumPages from Field Names).

The resulting code is something like this (press Alt- F9 to view - after closing the header/footer):

Page {PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT } of {NUMPAGES \* MERGEFORMAT} to YIELD "Page 1 of 3" for example, and will update for any appended pages...

Similar can be done for date fields to auto update the current date if you want, and perhaps investigate using... insert - cross reference to certain pages say to text that are booked marked....
