Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I'm looking for a simple way to create page numbers and total page values in a header or footer like "Page 1 of 4", for example.
In Word , there seems to be no alternative to selecting Header, Footer, or Page Number from the Insert tab on the ribbon and then selecting from a very long drop-down list of decorative entries that don't do what I want; for example, all the "Page X of Y" entries are in boldface and separate the values with only a single space.
Is it possible to enter the specs the old way, by say tabbing to the center of a footer and typing "Page " then inserting the number placeholder and " of " and inserting the total-pages placeholder? Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions.
Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. I get how to set up the page number x and start it at one on the correct page. My question is how do I get the total number of pages y to only include the total number of pages of the document, not to include the cover and TOC. Word 15 for Mac does not have a NumPages field, so total page number can't be displayed.
I tried Damear's suggestion Ctrl - F9 and it worked. Easier than shuffling the document through Word I have recently installed Word I struggled with how to insert the total number of pages.
The selection for X of Y just inserted "pg. X", just the page number, not including the number of pages. I finally resorted to saving the document, opening it in Word and using that handy header and footer toolbar for inserting the page number and total pages.
Upon reopening the document in Word , it is just as I wanted it. Now I have "Page X of Y" in my footer. Cludgey, but it worked. Damear has perfectly illustrated what I feel about the ribbon: Microsoft has produced something so clunky to use that we all end up learning keyboard shortcuts instead, which must be the very definition of failure in GUI design.
Damear -- This tip doesn't work on Word for Mac Ver. Do you have a Mac equivalent? Damear is right. In an effort to make it easy, Microsoft has made the process tediously complex.
Remember, in Word , the header and footer control dialog offered the most commonly used parts as buttons. From that, you can choose an option, then modify the format as desired. That's one hell of a scenic route to get a simple job done. Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface Word or later? This site is for you!
