Section page number and total page number
Hi, I wanted to add page numbering in all my sections with the total number to see where I am in each individual section. (for example Section II, page 3 of 7). I succeeded in that. But I also want...
Sorry, I missed that you were looking for page numbers and essentially what should be a SectionPage field (there is no such field). Greg Maxey wrote a very nice page on how to do this.
Charles_Kenyon Thanks for your answer! Maybe I am not understanding it correctly, but I still am not able to number the document in the two ways I want to.
I want to number the pages through the whole document from 1 to {numpages}
Additionally, I want to have the section page number and the {sectionpages} on each page as well.
I seem to be only able to use {pages} for one of the two, but not for both in a document.
An Example with a few pages.
1st Page belongs to Section 1, Numbering that would show is: Page 1, Page 1 of 2 in Section 1
2nd Page belongs to Section 1, Numbering that would show is: Page 2, Page 2 of 2 in Section 1
3rd Page belongs to Section 2, Numbering that would show is: Page 3, Page 1 of 1 in Section 2
4th Page belongs to Section 3, Numbering that would show is: Page 4, Page 1 of 3 in Section 3
5th Page belongs to Section 3, Numbering that would show is: Page 5, Page 1 of 3 in Section 3
6th Page belongs to Section 3, Numbering that would show is: Page 6, Page 1 of 3 in Section 3
