Trying to get a page number to show up in the header

[Lynn Brown]

Good Day

I am trying to find the code to have the page number show up at the top of
the page, but only if there is more than one page. I don't want this header
on the top of page one. The current code I have is: {if { { Page } =
{numpages} } "Page { page \*cardtext \*caps \*mergeformat }" "Boo"}.

Right now, I have the false answer as "Boo", so I can tell if it is working.
The document I am creating is a form, that currently has all data on the
first page. They would like the header of "Page Two" to show up on the
second page if it is required. They don't want anything to show up if the
data can be contained on the first page. I don't want to make the first page
different than the others, as then I would have to make the template into a
two page document, and that isn't what is wanted.

I am currently running Word (Office) 2003. Thank you very much for the help.

Hi Lynn,

This seems to do the trick:

{ IF { PAGE } = 1 "" "Page { Page \*cardtext \*caps \*mergeformat }" }

HTH,
Dave

Thanks Dave. It works great. Now to figure out why Page 3 comes out as Page
three instead of capitalized. Any idea why that would be?

Hi Lynn,

Try putting a space between "\*" and "caps".

That didn't work. Page Two is capitalized, but Page three and Page four
aren't. I don't know why this wouldn't work for the remainder of the pages.

Hi Lynn,
The following is working for me:

{ IF { PAGE } = 1 "" "Page { PAGE \*cardtext \*mergeformat } \*caps }

HTH,

I copied the code, and I couldn't get it to work for me. As there is no End
Quote, when I put it in Word 2003, I just get Page and then blank.
I have given it to her now, and hope that they don't go past two pages.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Lynn,
Sorry for the missing end quote...typo.

{ IF { PAGE } = 1 "" "Page { PAGE \*cardtext \*mergeformat }" \*caps }

I'm trying to get my Appendices to show up in the TOC like this: A-1, B-1, C-1. I have inserted section breaks for each new appendix but in the TOC these appendix show page numbered 1, 1, 1. How do I get the Alpha characters to show up in the TOC?
