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

    • Meta says that its "Private Processing technology" will be used. Oh, thank God! Now, I will finally sleep a whole lot better at night trusting FB. 🙄🙄🙄
    • The Teams Admin center is still a mess. I use it all the time. They really need to talk with the Intune or Entra ID folks for help.
    • Senua's Saga: Hellblade II to get 60FPS mode, dev commentary, and more alongside PS5 launch by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in May, Microsoft revealed Senua's Saga: Hellblade II as the next first-party Xbox game to reach PlayStation platforms. Now, that release has an official release date attached to it, and alongside it, developer Ninja Theory is releasing an update across all platforms with some major features, including a 60 FPS mode on consoles. The Performance Mode is easily the biggest addition to the story-focused immersive experience. Ninja Theory is delivering it to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 players, but there is some bad news for Series S owners, as it is being left out from the upgrade. "The result is smoother gameplay, especially noticeable during combat and fast-moving moments of the game," says the developer. It's unclear how much of the game's visuals Performance Mode users will be missing out on compared to the default 30FPS "cinematic" mode. PC players are getting an upgrade too. A Very High preset is being added to the settings menu for those wanting even higher fidelity graphics. Optimizations have also been a focus on PC, and Ninja Theory says that the title will be Steam Deck Verified when the Enhanced update lands in August. Next, similar to the original, Dark Rot is incoming as an optional experience that players can enable when starting a campaign. This will have a rot effect being applied to Senua every time she dies, and if it ever reaches her head, the game will come to an end, with all progress from that save being wiped. The Photo Mode in Hellblade II is being upgraded with this update too, with the studio touting a new Motion tab for cinematic video capture, as well as improvements across the board to the feature. Lastly, four hours of developer commentary is being added to give a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio crafted the story and gameplay. "Hear from the ensemble cast, key collaborators in depicting Senua’s experience of psychosis, and members of the development team who poured their heart and soul into Senua’s story," says the studio. The Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced comes out on August 12 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 for all owners and Game Pass subscribers as a free upgrade. As for the PlayStation 5 launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II that's happening on the same day, Microsoft will be offering two versions: Standard and Deluxe. As expected, Standard includes the complete base game for $49.99, but Deluxe goes further by adding on a copy of the first game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as well as its original soundtrack. The Deluxe Edition costs $69.99 to purchase.
    • Not sure what you’re talking about. Has been there for quite a while and in the latest versions it’s actually quite good. I use it several times a day as I am a terrible typist.
