Page Numbering

[shazy2k9]

Hello all, 

I wish to insert current page number in the Header and next page number in the Footer on same page. How can I do that? Can anyone pls help? Tried section breaks but not working and showing same number in Header and Footer. I am using MS Word 2016

@shazy2k9 Assuming that you have the page numbering in the Header as you want it, in the footer, insert the following, using CTRL+F9 for each pair of field delimiters { }

{ IF { PAGE } < { NUMPAGES } { = { PAGE } + 1 } }

Press ALT+ F9 to toggle of the display of the field codes and use Print Preview to update the fields in the document.

If you want a \ before the next page number, use

{ IF { PAGE } < { NUMPAGES } "\{ = { PAGE } + 1 }" }

Following up on Doug's correct response...

The nested field that Doug shows will give you the next page on every page except the last page in the document, assuming that you have not restarted page numbering.

The essentials of page numbering in Word are unchanged since at least Word 97. They are definitely the same in Word 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 ati 2021. See Page Numbers in Word 2007-2021 (365) and Dealing with Fields in Microsoft Word.
