Hi Peeps
Thanks for taking a look at my query. I am trying to put in a formula using field codes to give the page number to a document which has a front cover and a contents page. This is what I want the page numbering to look like on the document:
Page x of y
However, as I don't want to count the front cover and contents page, I am trying to mod the field code {NUMPAGES} so that takes 2 from the total number of pages so on the lsat page of the document I get Page 10 of 10, rather than Page 10 of 12, because {NUMPAGES} is the total number of pages. I understand the concept of using field codes (or thought I did !!), so I am using CTRL + F9 to build up a code, but I keep getting the error !Invalid Character Setting. I am competely baffled and frustrated! I have tried all variations of spacing between each character and between each field code etc but no difference : (
Can anyone hlep me please? Google suggests that I am doing everything right, but Word 2007 just won't have it
Looking forward to your input!
