Subject:Re: NUMPAGES field not working in Word From:Susan W. Gallagher <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 7 May 2003 13:45:59 -0400
It's a bug. It doesn't work. Here's a workaround.
1. Go to the end of your document and insert a bookmark just before the last paragraph marker. Name the bookmark "end" or "lastpage" or something similar.
2. Edit the header or footer and in place of the NUMPAGES field, insert a crossreference to the bookmark specifying that it display the page number.
HTH!
