Hello all,

My word document (office 2011 for MAC) consist of the following three sections.

• section1: front page, no number
• section2: numbering like i,ii,iii,iv etc.
• section3: numbering like 1 of 10 etcetera

In section3 I use the following format for page numbers: page x from y.
In the example above I have 15 pages in total (front page, i - iv and 1-10), so in total 15 pages.

If I use on the pages 1-10 the format x from y, it displayed pages 1 from 15.

I like to change that, so that it displays page 1 from 10 in section three.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Johan

In the Page X of Y format, "Y" is the NUMPAGES field which displays the total number of pages in the document. To get the the number of pages minus sections 1 and 2, you will have to make use of a formula field. I can't give you any specific instructions for MacWord, though.

Neither of these is specific to Word for the Mac but they should give you good ideas.
