Number words instead of numerals as page numbers

E

Elessvie

Hello,

Word 2003

In the footer, I need the page numbering to be as follows: "Page One of
Document," "Page Two of Document," etc., not "Page 1 of Document," "Page 2 of
Document," etc.

I tried inserting the NUMWORDS field for the page number, but am unable to
get it to start at "one."

Can you please help me?

Many thanks.

Although this is not an option in the Format Page Number dialog, you can
apply this formatting manually.

1. View | Header and Footer. This opens the header pane. If your page number
is in the footer, click the Switch Between Header and Footer button on the
Header and Footer toolbar to get to the footer pane.

2. Press Alt+F9 to view the PAGE field code.

3. After PAGE type \*CardText \*FirstCap

4. Press Alt+F9 again to toggle back to view of the field result.

For more on these formatting switches, see the Help topic "Format (\*) field
switch."

Thank you. That was just what I was looking for! Works beautifully.

By the way, the Help topic "Format (\*) field switch" does not give a list
of the switches that can be used with this field code. (This topic was
actually the first place I looked before posting.) Is there some way to see
a list of switches for each field code?

Many thanks,

Eless

I see the list of switches now! Sorry! (I had been looking under "PAGE [\*
Format Switch]," in which it does not give a list. It just gives a link to
Switches, then that just gives "\* Format Switch" without a list.

Any way, thank you VERY much again!

I see what you mean. You'd think they could at least make "\* Format Switch"
a link to the appropriate Help topic!

You will find a lot more about the use of switches - including a reference
