Prev: how do I show html formating?

Hi,

Appreciate if you can help me here.

I am trying to number my pages in my document a bit differently using the
header and footer but I can't seem to get around doing it.

Normally the page numbers will run concurrently in the header or footer as
in page 1,2,3,4...etc

But what intend to do is add page 5 (a) after page 5 and before page 6.

However when I do that under the header or footer page 5 becomes page 5 (a)

How do I format this under the header or footer? Thanks

You will need to use the following field construction

{ IF { PAGE } > 5 { IF { PAGE } < 7 "5a" { = { PAGE } - 1 } } { PAGE } }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters and you use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.

Hope this helps.
