Hi Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I can't use it because it does not meet the standards of the project I'm working on.

Since Word claims to support nested field codes, I assume what I am trying to do is possible. (In fact, for _/most/_ documents it does work,) I'd like to know why it doesn't work in this particular document, and how to correct the problem.

Regards,
Frank.

Frank,

Why not just use the page field and the numpages field?

{PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}

This should give you the correct results.

Oh Great Word Oracle, I need your help please.

I have written a set of nested Field Codes that number pages thus:

1 of 10
2 of 10
...
10 (End of Document)


The code looks like this:

{IF { Page } = { NumPages } "{ Page \* Arabic \* MergeFormat } (End
of Document)" "{ Page \* Arabic \* MergeFormat } of { NumPages \*
Arabic \* MergeFormat }" }

It's been working well except for one document. The document has 101 pages.
Some pages look like this:

30 of 101101
31 of 10192
32 pf 101101
33 of 10192
...
101 (End of Document)

I am using Windows XP SP2 with Word 2003 SP2. Any ideas as to why this
occurs?
