Page X of Y in Roman Numerals

S

Steve Stover

Hello Experts, haven't seen this in the archives, so...Can
I put "Page X of Y" in the footer with *both* page numbers
in Roman Numerals? I can get X in Roman format, but can't
seem to get Y to be a Roman Numeral...

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

You will need a format switch in both the page and
numpages fields in your footer. Toggle field codes in the
footer (ALT+F9) make the fields appear like this:

{ PAGE \* roman } of { NUMPAGES \* roman }.

Use ALT+F9 to toggle field codes off.

Thanks, Greg! But it's Monday - I hit Alt-F9, and get
taken to the next section footer field codes. If I page
back I can't see any footer field codes for the TOC
section. The only codes that show up are for the TOC
itself and Table of Figures. A Word 2000 feature?

Steve,

Page back?

With your Header and Footer toolbar, you should be able to
navigate from one section footer to the previous section
footer using the "show previous" icon (second from right).

"should be able" are the key words. With field codes on
Show Previous goes to the Title page section, Show Next
goes to the text body section, in both cases bypassing the
TOC section. Until I turn off the field codes, then I can
get to the TOC section. "Same as Previous" is NOT on.

What fun... :)

Is the table of contents in a separate Section? It sounds like it may not
be.

In both normal and page views showing Section Break
(continuous) between title page and TOC, and Section Break
(next page) between TOC and document body.

In View Header/Footer mode I can move to Section 2 (TOC)
*only if* field codes aren't on. If field codes are on it
jumps from section 1 to section 3.

I can't seem to put a Secton Break (odd page) between the
title page and TOC - if I manage to do it, it eventually
changes to (continuous) at some point.

Use a next page section break between the title page and the TOC. If you
want the TOC page numbers to start at 1 or 3, use the Format button in the
Insert>Page Numbers dialog. Click OK then Close to exit from that dialog,
NOT OK and OK as that will insert a second set of page numbers.

I give up. Word 2000 has Insert -> Page X of Y, or the
individual Page and Numpages buttons. The Format Page
Numbers only has an OK and Cancel, plus a Close on the
Header and Footer toolbar. I can't get the page Y in
roman format, with or without the Format dialog or the
\*roman setting. Time to move on to things I can do.

Guess I'll have to redo the 4-column section too, or the
body page number won't be correct. Have to remember the
different column sections will trash the Page X of Y
numbers.

Thanks for trying,
Steve

Don't know what happened, but came in this morning and
noticed the Page X of Y are *both* in roman format.
The "Y" was not in roman format yesterday when I exited
the documents. But now it is, and *all* documents have
the \* ROMAN switch in the SECTIONPAGES field, even though
I did not manually put that switch in all 3 documents. Go
figure.... Steve
