Have cut and pasted text for a while into a 70 some pages in one document.
Would like to set page numbers and have the order reversed so the last
"pasted" text is on the last page instead of the first one? Any ideas?
Thanks.
You can reverse the displayed and printed page numbers, not the pages
themselves. To do that, you can fiddle with the field in the header or
footer that creates the number.
Open the header area, right-click the page number, and select Toggle
Field Codes. You'll see
{PAGE}
Put the cursor to the left of the left brace and type
= NUMPAGES -
Then put the cursor to the right of the right brace and type
+ 1
Now the line looks like this:
= NUMPAGES - {PAGE} + 1
Select just the word NUMPAGES and press Ctrl+F9, which puts field
braces around it. Then select the whole thing and press F9 again. It
should now look like this:
{= {NUMPAGES} - {PAGE} + 1}
Press F9 to update it, and close the header area. The first page will
have the highest number, and they'll decrease to 1 at the end.
In Tools > Options > Print, select "Reverse print order" so page 1
still prints first.
