Attached Envelope should not be counted as a page for {NUMPAGES}

B

When an envelope is added to a document it is counted as a page as far as
{NUMPAGE} is concerned. So if there is an envelope and 2 pages, the footer
says "Page 0 out of 3, PAGE 1 OUT OF 3 AND Page 2 out of 3. Not good for
legal documents that need to tell the total number of real pages. Suggest
that the envelope not be counted as a page by {NUMPAGE}

It could be argued that there ought to be an option not to count page 0 as a
page in any case. In this specific situation, however, you can use
SECTIONPAGES instead of NUMPAGES since the letter and envelope are separate
sections.

1. Set up separate headers and footers for the document. Make sure "Same as
Previous is turned off". Define a header/footer for the document pages, but
not for the envelope section.

2. In order to get only the pages in the document section, use the file
SECTIONPAGES.

I appreciate that.... And it will work, as you allude, as long as there are
not any additional sections besides the envelope and main document. I think
your idea of an option to exclude the envelope is a good one. Thanks.

Thank you. Your suggestion will work fine as long as there is not more than
1 other section besides the envelope......however, this is frequently not the
case and many documents have more than 1 section besides the envelope. I
think the suggestion to make an option to exclude an envelope from page count
would seem to cover all situations. Thanks again.

In this case you can use:

{IF {Page} = "0""""Page {Page} out of {=({Numpages}-1)}"
