Clear instruction, Barbara. And the only important thing you didn't mention was how to get the numbering to start from page 2, where page 1 is some kind of cover sheet. I don't know how you're supposed to do it, but my method is to right click on the page number field, select 'Fields' and insert -1 in a field called Offset. This is so important an attribute I don't know why it doesn't show up immediately when one chooses to insert a page number field. //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
