Is there a way to refer to the actual value of SECTIONPAGE for a specific section of a Word 2007 document with multiple sections?
I have a document with a main body and two appendices- A and B. Each appendix has a footer with Page AX of N ( or Page BX of N ) where X is 1, 2, 3, .... up to the total SECTIONPAGE value of N. In the main document, the footer has a Page X of Y format, and currently the Y includes not only the number of pages in the main body, but also all the pages in the appendices as well. I just want Y to be the number of pages in the main body - no appendix page count included. I could always just manually subtract the total number of appendix pages from the {NUMPAGES} value in the main body header, or I could break this thing into three documents, BUT I'm hoping that there is some way to refer to the SECTIONPAGE values from Appendix A and Appendix B and just subtract those off of NUMPAGES. This would look something like:
{={NUMPAGES}-{SECTIONPAGE_VALUE_FROM_APPENDIX_A}-{SECTIONPAGE_VALUE_FROM_APPENDIX_B}}
Is this possible? Since WORD can keep track of the SECTIONPAGE values properly, it seems like there ought to be a way to refer to the specific SECTIONPAGE values for various sections within a document......
Thanks for any help!
