Thanks. > > Jon Hi Jon, FYI when posting to mailing lists it is customary to bottom post (i.e.. put your response/reply below the posted message), but no matter. In addition to Dan's excellent advice, try this: With the cursor inside the header (or footer) field, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Fields -> Page Number" this number will automatically increment with each new page.
