Word is limited; becuase i was only able to number upto 32766 pages in a
docuement. Is posible to increase the range for this application, or how can
i solve my problem.
Because i have a docuemnt of around 110,000 pages and i need to number all
the pages.

You may be able to do this with a calculated field: { = { PAGE } + x }. But
I would guess that 110,000 pages might be stretching even Word's limits.

I don't really know the maximum number of pages, but 32766 seems like it
might be it. One really simple way to solve the problem is to divide your
document into 2 parts. It's probably rather unwieldy as one document anyway.
Then start the 2nd document number at 32767, etc.

Thank's Rich for your promt response; but even if I Split the document in
several parts when I try to input the page numbers starting at 32766, the
program send and error telling that the range should be between 0 and 32766.

You can try it your self by trying to add numbers to a ten pages documents,
starting at 32766

Thank you again.

I already split the document in several parts, but when i try to add the
number to the pages the program limits this in a range of 0 thru 32766.
Can you explain to me how I input the calculated field.

If I insert the field { = { PAGE } + 32766 }, Word happily gives me 32767.
Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field braces. Type =, click the Insert Page Number
button, then type + 32766. F9 to update.

It is possible to make fill up the rest of the document with just one
instruction, becasue this way I would have to put the number on each page my
self; and as i already expose we are talking of around 110,00 pages?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Claudio,

32766 pages is the page numbering limit for a single document. beyond that you must use separate documents. Rather than using a
formula field to continue the same page numbering sequence (which a TOC will ignore anyway), I'd suggest you consider breaking your
document into separate 'Chapters' and numbering each Chapter - perhaps with a prefix indicating the Chapter number.

Cheers

As "macropod" says, it would be more satisfactory to break the document up,
but at least be aware that the field I have suggested will provide page
numbers from 32767 to 65532. After that (following a section break), you'd
have to use { = { PAGE } + 65532 } until you got to 98298, and so on.
