Linking page numbers in Multi Files

[Ceit]

I am looking to run consecutive page numbers in multiple files. I a
working on a novel but want to know how many pages, but I have th
novel chopped up into files. Chapter 1 is in a file named Chapter 1 an
so on.

Is there anyway in Word 2003 to link the files together, so as the pag
number changes in file Chapter 1 it changes in file number Chapter 2

Insert a { page } field on the last page of Chapter1 and select it and
insert a bookmark with the name LastPageChapter1

The in the next Chapter, use an IncludeText field like

{ IncludeText "J:\\Drive D40\\Documents\\Chapter 1.doc" LastPageChapter1 }

I am having the same problem, but seem to be misunderstanding the solution. I am using Word 2002.

Here are my problems:
1. In Ch. 1, I inserted the page field but Word 2002 doesn't let me create a numeric bookmark.
2. Assuming I can create a numeric bookmark and am on the first page Ch. 2, where do I insert the IncludeText field? Should I insesrt a page number for Ch 2?

Many thanks in advance for your help

The name of the bookmark cannot start with a numeric character. Note that
in my post, I suggested the bookmark name LastPageChapter1

In Chapter 2, you will need to insert the following field construction

{ = { PAGE } + { IncludeText "J:\\Drive D40\\Documents\\Chapter 1.doc"
LastPageChapter1 } }

in the location where you want the page number to appear.
