Page "x" of "n" - Publisher 2003

[Simon]

Hello all

Any ideas how I can get publisher to display this in a footer?

To clairfy, if my document has 40 pages, I want page 1 to say Page 1 of 40,
page 2 to say Page 2 of 40 etc without having to hard enter the total
number of pages if I add/delete some.

All help gratefully recieved.

Regards

Simon

Off hand I don't think you can, automatically. And I don't recall seeing
this functionality in other apps either. Partly because, I presume, the
document has no way to know on page 3 that there will be a page 4 or 34
or ?

The few times I needed this I finished the document, then copied and
pasted the "of xx" into the footer myself. Moments to do instead of
hours trying to figure it out.

Microsoft Word has it, it is most useful created in the footer of the
document.
