From: RichardBt on 9 Mar 2010 06:48 I am trying to set page numbers in the footer of a Word document, using the "x of Y" format. The problem is that I don't want to count the first page. I've introduced a Section Break so that the page count begins on the second page, but I can't find a way to make the total page count ignore the first page. The result is that the final page in the doc reads "Page 15 of 16", when I want it to read "Page 15 of 15". Any suggestions?

Press Alt+F9 to show the field codes in the document. The "Y" part of Page X of Y will look like this: { NUMPAGES }. Change the field code to SECTIONPAGES. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "RichardBt" <RichardBt(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FAA3A90C-1F82-438A-9B91-3039018AA533(a)microsoft.com... >I am trying to set page numbers in the footer of a Word document, using the > "x of Y" format.
