Insert > Page Number > Select a "Page X of Y"

That overwrites any previous footer I have.

I basically want my name in the center at the bottom, and 'Page x of x' on the right at the bottom.

Click where you want to place the number and under the "Page Number" menu choose "Current Position".

Cheers for your help but I went back with Office 2003. Had Office 2007 installed for months and months and it's frustrated me more and more over time.

I've give up with it until I have to use it (Y)

I don't get it why so many people can't get used to the Office 2007 interface. It's so logical that you don't even need to think!

No, it's not always. Not at all. I have installed Office 2007 on most of my friends and parents PCs and after weeks of trying it, they all wanted to go back. I was fed up of explaining where everything was to them! A personal example is how Office 2007 handles headers and footers. I preferred Office 2003's way (go to footer, choose the one of three locations you want text and insert the quick text for what you want - simple).

Don't continue posting about how amazing it is. The program winds me and many people up and although people on the Web seem to love it, most people I know (and I know a lot of people from varying backgrounds and jobs) hate it.

So let me get this right... You posted a hypothetical question posing as a real one (you didn't even have Office 2007 installed when creating this thread), when really what you wanted to do is to start a topic to complain and whinge about Office 2007?

No, I have Office 2007 installed but after 5/10 minutes of not being able to find it, it was the last thing that caused me to reach the end of my tether and I stuck Office 2003 back on.

Please don't answer if you don't have Office 2007, to save everyone's valuable time.

OK I got it reslolved as follows: Click on "Insert-->Header-->" (or Footer).

Customize the Header/Footer as you want in header/footer.

Click on "Page Number"->"Current Possition". You see a big list of templates.

Key is to SCROLL DOWN PATIENTLY and click on "Page X of Y".

I have to agree that Office 2007 makde our life more difficult.

I would expect a 100% backward compatibitly atleast on available options.

I have the same issue. I patiently followed the Help (F1) options and yes, it was confusing.

I found another misleading link below. Don't do what it says because "Page X of Y" already exists by default.

Hi guys,

Can anyone help me out with the code I need to insert "Page x of (y-2)"

Basically my document has a couple of pages at the front which will not be numbered, so I can't use a simple 'NumPages' for the "of y" bit (as it make it look like there are a couple of pages missing.

There are several section in the document, so I cant use SectionPages either.

I'm not that familiar with editing field codes, so if someone could let me know how I display the "number of pages - 2" I would be grateful!

Cheers

J

    • Wikipedia suffers backlash from human editors over AI summaries, prompting feature pause by David Uzondu Wikipedia editors have pushed back against plans from the Wikimedia Foundation to test AI-generated article summaries, powered by Aya, the open-weight AI model from Cohere. The non-profit has now paused the project. The decision came after a swift and overwhelmingly negative reaction from its community. As first reported by 404Media, the plan involved a two-week, opt-in trial on the mobile version of Wikipedia. But the volunteer editors who build the encyclopedia met the idea with immediate and fierce opposition. The project's discussion page became a torrent of rejection. It included simple comments like "Yuck" and blunt declarations like "strongest possible oppose" and "Absolutely not." One editor argued that a test would cause "immediate and irreversible harm to our readers and to our reputation as a decently trustworthy and serious source." They noted that Wikipedia has built its name on being sober and reliable, not flashy. Another feared it would destroy the site's collaborative model. They argued that while the "collective mass" of human editors "evens out into a beautiful corpus," the AI would install "one singular editor with known reliability and NPOV [neutral point-of-view] issues" at the very top of an article. That same editor also noted the following: For context, this is what AI-generated summaries on the platform was supposed to look like: Image: 404Media It is not hard to see why they are so protective. The editors' fears are grounded in recent and very public failures of AI features from tech giants. For example, Google's AI overviews recently hit 1.5 billion monthly users. The feature became a laughingstock for telling people to put glue on their pizza and that a dog had played in the NBA. This is the kind of humiliating error Wikipedia's community is desperate to avoid, as it would undermine two-plus decades of careful work. We also saw the potential for reputational damage back in January. That was when Apple's AI feature falsely generated a notification claiming that Luigi Mangione had died by suicide. The man was actually alive and in custody. On the site's technical discussion page earlier today, Marshall Miller (MMiller), a Senior Director at the Wikimedia Foundation, posted an update acknowledging the feedback. He admitted, "It's clear we could have done a better job introducing this idea," and confirmed the experiment was paused. The Foundation says the goal was to explore accessibility for different readers. While this specific test is off the table, the organization still wants to use new technologies. Miller ended with a promise: "We do not have any plans for bringing a summary feature to the wikis without editor involvement." A WMF spokesperson also told 404Media that though the feature has been paused, the foundation is still interested in AI-generated summaries. The spokesperson insisted the goal was to eventually build moderation systems where "humans remain central" and called this kind of backlash feedback part of what makes Wikipedia a "truly collaborative platform."
    • I see, yeah that makes sense. I have been in situations where I barely did not crush badly on the road due to other driver starting to change lanes into another car - freaked out last second and avoided it by crashing into the side of the bridge instead. i got away because I quickly changed lanes 2 times in a couple of second and unlike that idiot I did not lose control big part of this was my car was good 😊 (audi a7) vs the old van the crashed driver was driving would AI be able to react and quickly change lanes twice both time barely avoiding collision … I don’t know my car systems pumped the breaks and tried to warn me with a beep and vibration but if I slammed the breaks the car behind me would hit me then again I have BMW driver training and a good car - so I have no idea how robot taxi would react i am not sure extreme fast lane changes would be programmed in - it is dangerous as hell unless you are FULLY aware, and have done it before but it is a general risk to do it especially in the conditions with bad weather and when you are not driving a sports car with 4 wheel drive and very good control

    • If you can't sleep, work, or make out with your lady in the back of the car, then it isn't actually "full self driving"...and shouldn't be marketed lied about that way. It's actually just "driver assisted".
    • I’m happy to admit that I truly hate musk from the bottom of my heart. He provided me with PLENTY reasons.
