Userinitials and fileref on last page only.

[Jan Kronsell]

Hi

Im trying to put userinitials and filename on the last page of a document
only. Pagenumbers are set to start with 0, and pagenumbers are not shown on
forst page. I have put a bookmark on the last page and uses this:

{ IF { PAGE \* MEGEFORMAT} ={PAGEREF MYBOOK \* MERGEFORMAT} {USERINITIALS
\* MERGEFORMAT} / {FILENAME \*MERGEFORMAT} }

but it appears blank on all pages.

Did you put the bookmark on the last page and not in the header/footer?
Did you update the fields? - Updating fields in the header is a pain - use
the sample macro at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
You need quotes around the result fields or you will get the slash on all
pages and the initials on the last page.
The Mergeformat switches even if spelled correctly are superfluous.

{ IF { PAGE } = { PAGEREF MYBOOK } "{ USERINITIALS } / { FILENAME }" }

The following should work also.

{ IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "{ USERINITIALS } / { FILENAME }" }

As Graham points out, there's no need for a bookmark. The final page is
(nearly) always equal to the NUMPAGES so simply use the PAGES=NUMPAGES to
construct the IF argument.

In this case lastpage is not equal to numpages, which causes the problem in
the first place.
But I'll try Grahams solution a little later on.

If the page really is the *last* page, then it will be the same as NUMPAGES
regardless of what page numbers appear on the pages.

 

[Jan Kronsell]

This is my original fields

{IF {PAGE} = {NUMPAGES} "{USERINITIALS} / [FILENAME}"}

and it works perfectly allright until I format pagenumbering to start with 0
in stead of 1. Then all pages in the document appears blank. And if I show
values in stead of fieldcodes on the last page it says

{IF 4 = 5 "{USERINITIALS} / [FILENAME}"}

But now I got it to work using

IF {PAGE} = {PAGEREF MYBOOK} "{USERINITIALS} / [FILENAME}"}

and placing a bookmark on the bottom of the last page.

So thank yopu for your effort everybody.

If you started numbering from zero, all you need to do is edit the field to
PAGE = NUMPAGES-1 and it will work.

I know, but sometimes pangenumbering starts on page 3, sometimes on page 85,
sometimes.... And I don't know before I start thwe document, which it is.
The reason is, that everything before the body is on unnumberede pages, and
I never can say before the user starts to write, how much that will be.
