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

    • Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.
    • its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
    • 3,900 mAh. When compared to the S25 Ultra (5,000), the S25+ (4,900) and the S25 (4,000), it has the worst battery of them all, all because of that slim size. Everything comes with sacrifices.
