From: Ron Williamson Ron on 8 Mar 2010 10:08 Prior versions allowed insertion of fields via menu. Desired capability is to insert 'number of pages' in footer. As in 1 of N, where N is number of pages in document. 2003 and prior allowed this as a footer command or a field insert. Now the only option is to scroll through all the sample footers, pick the lonely example that includes the desired 1 of N, change the format, add the other footer information and finally done. Or, open an existing document and copy the footer and paste it. As with many "features" of 2007, deleting the field insert is not an improvement.

You can insert a field at the insertion point via Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field. If you used to work directly with the field codes in Word 97-2003, you can still do that in Word 2007: You can use Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field delimiters, { }, and then type in the code. And to show/hide field codes in the document, press Alt+F9. F9 updates the fields in the selection. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ron Williamson" <Ron Williamson(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5C62387B-7487-4C7C-81ED-E77CD7F706E3(a)microsoft.com... > Prior versions allowed insertion of fields via menu.
