page numbering in footer

[magown]

Hi,

In the footer, it is possible to insert automatically the page number
and the total number of pages. However, I need to insert the number of
the *next* page. Is it possible? How?

Thanks

Yes, for the number of the next page, you need a formula field. Here's how.

1. Type "= +1" (without the quotation marks).

2. Place the insertion point between "=" and "+1," and press the # button on
the Header and Footer toolbar to insert a { PAGE } field.

3. Select the entire field syntax (= { PAGE } +1) and press Ctrl+F9, which
will turn it into a field.

4. Toggle Shift+F9 to toggle the display to field results.
