Page numbering e.g; 1-3, 2-3, 3-3

[Wizard]

Greetings all!

Are Word able to number pages in a style that "display" the total of pages
in a doc on every page? (e.g: 1-3, 2-3, 3-3 or 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3)


Thanks and have a good one!

Yes. This is done in a header or footer and there is an AutoText entry for
it.
View > Headers and Footers...
A toolbar will pop up that has AutoText on it. You are looking for Page X of
Y.

Note that this method has problems in older versions of Word for which there
are fixes or workarounds. If you have a version before Word 2002 and run
into problems, write back.

Actually, one of the SPs for Word 2002 broke it again. See
