    Excellent help – simple and straight to the point. I have spent hours earlier looking for the answer using Microsoft help, but to no avail.

    Thanks for the tip, very helpful. As an aside, to get to the setup page a little easier go to the Page Layout tab and click on the little square with an arrow in the right bottom corner of the Page Setup group.

    This works fine if you only want to assign a page number only – i.e Page 4. However, if you want to insert the total number of pages as well – i.e. Page 4 of 8, it reflects the page numbers as Page 4 of 4; Page 5 of 4; Page 6 of 4 etc. How do you get it to increment the page numbers appropriately?

    I follow the procedure but no numbers show up on my preview or printed sheets. What I really want to do is have SC-15 be the first page number, then SC-16, etc. for a 6-page document, using either page numbers or footers. Any ideas?
