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

    • I wonder why you say that. As we speak, I'm using it to slash off several minutes of my life.
    • I think you may need to adjust your style of approach. I know you won't though. While some were affected by performance issues, and it's not a huge gap... you're acting as if Ryzen couldn't handle 11 at all. Performance issues are purely based on some facts in certain scenarios, while others are not. I see one link with a handful of people discussing the topic. I didn't join those topics or seek them out myself, as I didn't encounter noticeable drops in performance going from 10 to 11. When 10 came out, during that beta testing phase... I was able to continually crash my system simply by renaming files. It might also have to be because I don't have my nose stuck up the butt of single digit percentage points. I don't benchmark my PC every time something new comes out. Single percentage point differences in performance only ruffle the feathers of those that don't care about daily use. If you have a race car, do you compare that to your daily driver? Do you expect your Honda Accord to break the 9 second quarter mile like your 1000HP Pontiac Firebird? If you're so worried about FPS instead of enjoying your games... perhaps opening a curtain in your basement might provide a new perspective in life.
    • Currently updating my Win10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 in a VM (QEMU/KVM) on Linux. but damn, updates take forever (makes me appreciate the lightness on Linux all the more). to give you a general idea... this update finished at 37 minutes into system uptime and I would estimate updates have been running roughly 20-30 minutes (some of this would be download time, but even subtracting that I would guess that 20-30min is close). granted, I only got two cores of my four core CPU (i5-3550) dedicated to the VM. but still, Linux wipes the floor with Windows in this regard. plus, that does not count the reboot which takes even more time.
    • It's disgusting that this exists and is being marketed by Neowin as a way to earn passive income. Support real writers and real arts. The world needs them more than ever. After at least 10 years, Neowin can GTFO my favorites bar.
