I am trying to add page number as # of # in the header. I could not find that option in page number dialog box. Can any body guide me to that dialog box?


Thank you.

I have added wrong year at the title.

hi apanbasu,

You can insert and format an ordinary page # via the Header/Footer Tab but, to get the 'Y' part of a 'page X of Y' expression, you need to use Insert|Quick Parts|Field, then choose either NumPages or SectionPages. Alternatively, You could press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie {}), then type NumPages or SectionPages between the field braces, so that you end up with {NumPages} or {SectionPages}, then press F9 to update the field.

Thank you for the information. In 2003 - it was much simpler. I do not know why this version got so complicated.
Thanks again.
