Instruction for: double page numbering (question 3/31/2004)

[Guest]

I had this problem earlier and here are the instructions allso for You to know:

My situation
Several (15) files (each 50-300 pages). These files together are "one volume".
(The number of the volumes is 5, so the number of actual pages is HUGE!

My problem
Each page should have two page number
1: page number of that page in that file ("filepages"
2: page number of that page in that volume ("volumepages"

like this
page 1 of 58 (of this document/file) is also page 283 of 388 (of one volume )
this comes automaticly, starts from number 1 to this one I need to tell the number where to star

When I try to "tell" to the numbering of volumepages where to start, the numbering of filepages receives the same "command".

Solution

1:
normal pagenumbering, no problems

2:
dont use normal page numbering
Go to File -> Properties -> Custo
Add new: name: PageStar
type: Numbe
value: 282 (the last page in the file that comes before this file (in volume) is page number 282

Then add to Foote
{={DOCPROPERTY PageStart \* MERGEFORMAT}+{PAGE}

Mandy,

Is there some reason why { =(282 + {PAGE}) } wouldn't work
as well?

Yes;
I'm not using these documents my self, I'm just making the templates for other users.
I tried to show the users how to open

the "volumepagenumber" code and add the right
startingnumber. Result: in 8 times of 10 they destroyd
part of the code in process..
