Page numbering ina merge document

[trunkles]

Hi folks.

Tried to work out how to do this but can't. Perhaps one of you can
help.

Document is a single page merge with 6 records on it that are taken
from an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has several hundred records
in it and the record count varies.

In the footer is Page x of y. When you "merge to print", each page is
printed correctly but with page 1 of 1 in the footer, rather than page
1 of 124 (the current page total).

So, how the heck do I get it to put the correct page number of the
correct page total on it when I print?

Tearing my damn hair out with this!

Thanks for your help.

Simon.

Create this as a "Catalog" or "Directory" merge instead of a Letter merge
(the latter inserts section breaks). You can still have each record on a new
page by including a page break or "Page break before" formatting in your
mail merge main document.
