I asked this question over in the general forum. I have a
84 page word documnet that I need to change the page
numbering for printing purposes. I need page 1 to be page
84, page 2 to be page 83 etc... Is this possible?
Hi, Vickie,
You want them numbered in reverse order? You can't really renumber the
pages, but you can set it up so the header or footer contains a field that
shows the number you want. To do that, you need a nested field (one field
inside another).
With the cursor in the header (or footer), press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of
field braces. Between them, type
= 85 -
After the minus sign, type a space and press Ctrl+F9 again. The field will
look like this so far:
{ = 85 - { } }
Type the word PAGE between the inner braces, so the final appearance is
{ = 85 - { PAGE } }
Press F9 to update the field.
What this does is subtract the "real" page number from 85 and display the
result. On the first page it's 85 - 1 = 84, on the second page it's 85 - 2 =
83, and so on until the last page shows 85 - 84 = 1.
