I am uploading a demo file that pretty much demonstrates what I need to do. In the footer, there are 2 lines. The bold line works exactly as I need it, but it uses a bookmark and the 'IF' field code, which won't work in the mail merge. The second line is what I put together from the knowledge I have gained in this discussion using the formula you provided. At first, it appears to work since the Information in the second section starts at the top of page 4, but if you add 1 or more extra carriage returns to page 3, then the second line will indicate that the continued copy is on page 5, although it still begins on page 4. (Note that I moved the section break back to before the header for that section, as I need the header to stay with the next paragraph, and I found that apparently the 'Keep with next' won't work if there is a section break between the two).
The second section also has a different header/footer to allow the 'Information Continued' message to appear on each subsequent page that the information section flows into. I still have to code the footer text in the second section so that the 'continued on the next page' message doesn't appear on the last page, but I'm sure I can get that to work properly with a little patience (plus, if I can unlink it properly from the first section, the text wouldn't need to be calculated, since it would always say 'the following page' from then on).
If this can be simplified, and made to work with the mail merge, I would be very happy to find out what I need to do. Again, your assistance is greatly appreciated.
