Page _ of _

[K]

A couple weeks ago CyberTaz was kind enough to answer my question about
inserting Page _ of _. Today I finally got back to it to try his suggestion.
In the instructions CT gave was "On the Insert Tab - Header & Footer Group
click Page Number point to Bottom of Page or Top of Page, scroll down to the
"X of Y" options". Everything worked just as CT said except so far I have not
found anything resembling "X of Y". Where do you spose I go from here? All
ideas, suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

They start at about the 6th or 7th option down.

Thank You for such a quick response. When I click Insert - Page Numbers, the
Page numbers Window comes up. In that window Bottom of Page is selected.
Alignment is Right. The box is checked for Show number on first page. I click
Format and the Page Number window comes up. In the Number Format drop down
menu there are 7 selections, none of which is "X of Y". "Chapter starts with
style" is gray. "Use separator:" is gray. "Examples:" is gray. The radio
button is selected for "Continue from previous section" in the Page Numbering
section of that window. That's all I have been able to find. Am I looking in
the right place? Do I have a version that does not offer Page X of Y? It's
Word 2003. Is there something that needs turned on or off? All ideas,
suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

The instructions you were given were for Word 2007. In Word 2003, View |
Header and Footer. This will open the Header pane and display the Header and
Footer toolbar. On the toolbar, click on the Switch Between Header and
Footer button to get to the footer. Then select Page X of Y from the
AutoText menu on the toolbar. You'll need to use Ctrl+R to align this to the
right, or, if the footer is to contain other text, press Tab twice to place
it at the right-aligned tab stop at the right margin (and note that if
you've changed the margins, you'll probably need to move the tab stop.

Alternatively, use Insert | Page Numbers to insert a simple page number in
the desired position. It will be inserted in a frame. Double-click in the
header or footer to activate the header/footer story and display the Header
and Footer toolbar. Select the page number and choose Page X of Y from the
AutoText menu to replace it.

Both CyberTaz and JoAnn were under the impression that you had Word 2007. The
way you get this in Word 2003 and earlier is completely different.

Click the View menu and choose "Header and Footer" to open the header pane. At
the same time, the Header & Footer toolbar should appear. On that toolbar, click
"Insert AutoText" and choose "Page X of Y" from the bottom of the list.

I based my response on CyberTaz's comment. That'll teach me to assume.

OOPS! Now I'm embarrassed. When I followed the instructions yall offered for
2003, I started remembering. The new unit at home is 2007 and that's where I
was having the problem. In fact I've been avoiding 2007 for the past several
months because it is so confusing but lately I've been forcing myself to do a
little 2007 every night hoping to get half way decent on it before the end of
the year. Then the other day here at work I was in 2003 and musta got
confused because all of a sudden nothing looked familiar and I couldn't find
Page _ of _ anywhere. At the moment, because of you guys, it seems as if I'm
straightened back out. And now I can do Page _ of _ in 2007 too. Thanks
everyone, appreciate your patience. Hopefully I'll get better at 2007 and
these episodes will start going away. K.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I can confirm that trying to work in both versions simultaneously can be
very confusing. <g>

 

[JoAnn Paules]

It's worse in Excel. There are some formulas that you can use in 2007 that
2003 can't.
