Someone please help me!! I have a 10-page document, however, I do NOT want
the last page number to display and I am having the worst time deleting or
hiding the very last page number without affecting all the others...how do I
perform this particular function? Please provide step-by-step instructions.
Thank you very much.

Sandra:)

Use this field in place of the simple { PAGE } field:

{ IF { PAGE } < { NUMPAGES } { PAGE } }

This will insert the page number on all but the last page. Note that each
pair of field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be
typed from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9, but if you insert a
pair for the IF field, you can use the Insert Page Number and Insert Number
of Pages buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert the remaining
fields.

Hi there Suzanne....thank you for response. I have to be honest though, I'm
alittle confused as to HOW to do this exactly? Where do I go and type in the
IF function you listed below? I know it probably seems pretty straight
forward to you since you're obviously an advanced user, but it's not so
simple for me. Can you please reply step-by-step. Sorry to be such a
bother, but I do appreciate the help.
Sandra

You insert this field wherever you want the page number to appear/not
appear--in the header or the footer. It sounds as if this may be something
you haven't done (I suspect you've been using Insert | Page Numbers?), so
you might want to read http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm,
which will explain how to do this.
