Page 1 of ?

[Shelly9633]

I have a question about page numbers in Headers. I know you can add a page number, as well as the total number of pages. I also know that you can change the first page number to be, say 5, instead of 1. But, when I do the "of Pages".... it will put Page 5 of 1, instead of 5 of 6. Is there any way to change that?

This probably only makes sense in my feeble mind, but hope someone can help me.

You change the total number of pages exactly the same way as you change the actual page number.

[Pages]+4

for example.

I've tried that. For instance I put &[Pages] + 5, but when I go to Print Preview, it shows Page 5 of 35 (I have 3 pages total). Actually, I was able to make it work by doing this: (&[Pages]+5), but it came out like this: Page 5 of (6). So that won't work.

Your first instance has embedded blanks: &[Pages] + 5, instead of being &[Pages]+5 which makes a big difference.

Thank you! Thank you! I should have figured that out, duh!!!
