Page plus 1

[hkbs]

I am trying to write "see table on Page (next page) ..." where the pages of
the document may be changed (e.g. pages may be inserted so page numbers will
change)

{ = { PAGE } + 1 } works in the header but not in the body of the document.

Can anyone help please?

TIA

Hi,

You would do better to bookmark the table and insert a page #
cross-reference to the bookmark.

Cheers

Thanks for that. I am not familiar with cross-references/bookmarks but I
think I have got it right!

I have put a cross-reference on the heading of my table and inserted a
PAGEREF at the point where I want the page number to appear.

The only problem is that it shows "on page n" in my text rather than "on
Page n". Is it possible to get a capital P on Page?

TIA

Hi,

I would have thought that the capitalisation was entirely up to you. For
example:
"see table on Page {PAGEREF Table1}",
where '{PAGEREF Table1}' is your cross-reference field, the coding for which
you can toggle on/off via Alt-F9.

I wonder, though, whether you have done this correctly. The correct process
would be to:
1. Select the table (or perhaps only the first row);
2. Use Insert|Bookmark to assign a bookmark name (eg Table1) to the
selection;
3. Select the place where you want the page number to appear;
4. Use Insert|Cross reference and choose: (a) the 'bookmark' reference type;
(b) the 'page number' reference to; and (c) your bookmark's name.
Using this approach, capitalisation of the "see table on Page " text can be
whatever you want it to be.

Cheers

To add to what macropod has said, I cannot imagine a style in which "on Page
x" would be preferred to "on page x."

Thanks to Suzanne and macropod.

Knowing little about cross-references, I had not carried out the correct
procedure until macropod's second reply. Just for interest, I got "on page
x" as follows:

I inserted the bookmark correctly but then put Insert Field | Links and
References | PAGEREF Table1 \p

I have now put it right thanks to your help - learning a bit each day!
