This is an issue I've fought since 1995!!!


I've yet to find training for "programming" macros, etc. in Word - although I admit I gave up years ago since I don't do many mail merges - but now we're starting to, SO, a BIG S.O.S.!

1. How do I get 2-page letters to have "2 of 2" (instead of "45 of 300," etc.) on the second page after a merge, as well as,

2. HOW (& what default setting do I change/how) do I get Word NOT to have "continuous numbering from previous" (for numbered lists) in every separate letter after the first.

Gosh knows Word is always trying to show me how much smarter it is than I am and this is one of those times when it just causes me Grief - SINCE 1995!!!

I shouldn't have to learn VBA to do a simple 2-page letter mail merge for 200 recipients.

grumble, growl.

I appreciate any assistance with this lifelong adventure.
