Page Numbers

[Tracy]

In the footer of my document, I have page numbers set to
page x of x, where "x" is coded, as opposed to manually
typed. I would like to be able to add an exhibit page to
the end of the document, but I don't want it to affect
the page numbering. For example, I don't want it to
change "page 1 of 200" to "page 1 of 201", because the
exhibit should not be reflected in the page number. Is
there a way to code the exhibit page so it won't affect
the page numbering of the rest of the document?

No. But...

You can change the coding in your header / footer. Go into the h/f using
View => Headers and Footers.

Then press Alt-F9. You should see the field code { NUMPAGES } in there
instead of the actual number of pages. Select this code (including the
braces) and press Ctrl-F9. This inserts another pair of field codes. Type in
there to make the entire thing say:
{ = { NUMPAGES } - 1 }

Then press F9 and then Alt-F9.

Hope this helps.
