Conditional page numbering field in header

Can you tell me how to state a conditional field in a header as follows:

If the page number is larger than half the number of pages plus an
additional 3 pages, then "ipsum lorem"

I can get as far as {IF {PAGE} > { = {NUMPAGES} /2} "IPSUM LOREM" but how do
I get the +3 in there?
I probably will never need to know this, but I just started wondering about
it and nothing I try seems to work.

Thanks for this and for all you do!
 
{IF {PAGE} > { = {NUMPAGES} /2 + 3 } "IPSUM LOREM" } works for me.

Hi, Suzanne:

Thanks once more!

I could have sworn that was one of the things I tried, but it must not have
been. I think I might have been putting the +3 outside the brackets (silly
me!).

Thanks again, Suzanne!
 
Well, the first time I tried it, I put the whole expression inside parens
just to be on the safe side, but experimentation proved that they were not
required.
