Page numbering

[Tom Hain]

I would like to have an unnumbered page in my document.
(For example if the page number before this page is 50,
the page number after this page should be 51).
Of course, I can do this manually by using the
PageNumberFormat/StartAt feature, but I would like the
page number to be automatically updated (before a print)
if I insert additonal pages before the unnumbered page.

Hi Tom

To do this you first need to insert 'Next page' section breaks before and
after the page you want unnumbered. Then in header/footer view, use the
'same as previous' toggle to unlink the headers and footers. You can then
remove the page number in the middle section.

To get the page numbering to continue in the last section, missing out the
unnumbered page, the easiest solution is probably to toggle the display of
field codes and then replace the { PAGE } (page number) field with { = {
PAGE } - 1 }. Note that the {} are field deliminators and need to be entered
using Ctrl - F9 (or as part of inserting a field).

Hope this helps

Hi Tom,

You can do it with an {If} field in the header/footer

{ IF { PAGE } < 50 { PAGE} { IF { PAGE } > 50 { = { PAGE } - 1 } }}

You must use Ctrl + F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters and note that
the is space between { PAGE } and { IF.. and also between the first and
second of the final } }}.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a consulting basis.
