Page Numbering

[Ryan]

Using Windows XP Pro and Office 2002. I need to start the
page numbering on the 5th page as Page 1. I have not
organized the document into divisions, etc. How can I
use a page format like "Page x of y" in this situation?

Ryan,

Unless the situation changes (i.e., you are willing to add a section break
after page four), about all you can do is use a convoluted IF field with
nested formula fields to calculate and display page numbering.

This would work:

{ IF { Page } > 4 "Page {=({ Page }-4)} of { =({ Numpages }-4 } Pages" }

If you insert a section break at the end of page four, you could then set
the page numbering in the second section to start at one and then just use:

Page { PAGE } of { Sectionpages } Pages
