I first asked this question on 11/3/04 (figuring page x of y) however, I
supposed I was not specific enough with my question. Here it is rephrased:
I have 125 document, not available electronically, that I had to make
corrections to only specific pages, lets say 50 of the 125.
I had to manually retype these pages.
In the footer of this document the following information is required to have
it match the rest of the document:

Name of Company Confidential &
Copyrighted 2004
Origination Date: May 1999
Revision Date: Nov 2004
Page x of y Policy: xxxxxxxxx

IN the footer, is there any way to be able type for instance: 2 of 125 on
the first manually typed page, then 35 of 125 on the 2nd manually typed page,
88 on the 3rd manually typed page, etc.
The sugguestion was made to just type in the page number for each page,
however, this doesn't work in the footer, if I type 2 of 125 on the first
page, the second and third default to 3 of 125 and 4 of 125.
The only solution I can see is to make each separate page a document, which
would be extremely combersome.
If there any other way to change the footer from page to page?
 
Yep...
Click Insert at the top of the screen....
Then hit Page numbers...
Then Format....
Then start on page _____

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately it looks like you may need to insert Section breaks
between each page to create individual footers so you can manually
type the appropriate page numbers since they are not consecutive.

Once that is complete then you will need to go to View/Header and
Footer, navigate to each section footer and click the "Same as
Previous" command to unlink the footers. Then you will be able to
manually type the page numbers.

Do you currently have manual page breaks in the document? We may be
able to help you out on some of the work with a macro since there are
so many pages.

Actually, No, it doesn't answer my question at all....
By performing the functions of your suggestion, by let's start starting at
7, the first page has a 7 in the footer on the right hand side of the footer,
the next page 8, then 9, 10, etc.
Please look again at the example below of what my footer must look like to
match the rest of the document:

Name of Company Confidential &
Copyrighted 2004
Origination Date: May 1999
Revision Date: Nov 2004
Page x of y Policy: xxxxxxxxx

see where it say x of y?
I have manually typed 50 pages of 125 that are not available electronically.
the first page typed of the 50 might be the 8th of 125, the 2nd page typed
of the 50 might be the 21 of 125, the 3rd page typed of the 50 might be 38 of
the 125.
What I need in the footer (bottem line on the left, where it says x of y) is
for the first page of the document to read "8 of 125" the 2nd page of the
document is to read "21 of 125", the 3rd page is to read "38 of 125"
I want to be able to list the numbers non-sequencially in the x of y format
in the lower left line of the footer. I would need to manually be able to
enter a different date in each footer
Can this be done? Or as I suggested below, do I have to save each page as a
separate file
 
Hi carrera,

In order to have a different text in the footer of each page, you must
insert a section break at the end of each page. Also, in each footer after
the first, you must click the Same As Previous button in the Header/Footer
toolbar to turn off the link between that section and the preceding one.
Only then can you enter new text that won't propagate to the other pages.

Detailed instructions are at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm. The
difference in your situation is that you want each page to be a separate
section.
 
super, i can figure it out from here.
thanks
