From: songinthedark on 3 Jul 2008 07:54 I did what you suggested but the SectionPages field keeps defaulting to a total page count of 1 instead of 2. So my footers read "S1 of S1, S2 of S1". I've updated the fields but it still comes out the same way. Any suggestions?

From: songinthedark on 3 Jul 2008 11:04 Thanks. That problem is fixed. I have another issue and I don't know if or how it can be done. Example: I have a document with 19 pages with a need to be used for different purposes. There are two pages in section 1 with page numbering "X of 19". There are 4 pages in section 2 with page numbering based on it's own section pages "SX of S4". Sections 3-5 have the remainder of the pages numbered like section 1 "X of 19". I would like to be able to have sections 1 and 3-5 have the page numbering say X of 15. The pages in section 2 will eventually be pulled out to be a stand alone document. Sections 1, 3-5 will also remain together as a stand alone document. And thirdly all sections (1-5) will remain together as a document for a third purpose. Is this possible? If so, how?

I used SECTION PAGES field code to set it up with the numbering SX of SX. Can I set up the Table of Contents page number for this section to include this label "S"? Currently it says: 1. Signature Page.....2 2. Synopsis..............1 3. ToC.....................3 I want it to say: 1. Signature Page.....2 2. Synopsis..............S1 3.

To include heading numbers with page numbers, first you will have to make sure that the relevant heading is in a separate section. Then you can use the "Include chapter number" option in the Page Number Format dialog box (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm). Alternatively, use a SEQ field to create the number in the document, include the paragraph in the TOC and add the \s switch to the TOC field. For example, if numbering is done using this field: { SEQ test \r 19 \* ALPHABETIC } (which produces the letter "S"), you will have to add \s "test" to the end of the TOC code as follows: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \s "test" }. (Note that the field code is just an example. Depending on the options chosen, other switches could be present.) To show/hide field codes, use Alt+F9. After you've edited the field code, use F9 to update the result. ~~ Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "songinthedark" <songinthedark(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F9455388-31B3-4F91-B908-A56EE79BCD66(a)microsoft.com... > "songinthedark" wrote: > >> Thanks.
