I want to insert pagenumbers in my word document in the form
1/3, 2/3, 3/3
for a three-page document. No problem, I use insert field to
insert Page "/" SectionPages in the footer.
My problem starts when I want no page number if my document
consists of only one page (1/1 looks so silly...).
I've tried to use an "if" field to accomplish this, but to no
avail.
What are the incantations I need to work this miracle?
Thanks, Rien.

| 2816.2 | Separate 1st page header is a work around... | NWD002::FEIGLE | Thu Feb 27 1997 01:07 | 14 | |
Funny, I don't use Page and SectionPages. I use the fields page number
and number of pages in the footer. I've never used the "if", but the
simple method might be to never have a page number on the 1st page.
I.E. set it up so that your first page header/footer is different from
the rest. I think this is right in the document setup fields.
And I kind of like the idea.... so please share your solution.
However, I disagree with one item... Page 1/1 on the bottom is quite
informational, as it tells me for sure that nothing else follows. I'd
suggest leaving it.... My template has a x/y page numbering for all
pages... but you know, those folks from the midwest can be "simple"...
that's me...

I figured it out by myself (by reading the fine manual carefully...)
{ if {SectionPages} = 1 "" "{Page} / {SectionPages}" \* MERGEFORMAT }
In order to be able to see and type in this stuff, use Alt-F9 to make
the codes visible, and use Ctrl-F9 to generate the {}-pairs.
