Numbering of (total) pages per page format / section
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2018 11:20 am
Hello.
I have a document:
1 page: Title page
3 pages: Formal stuff
20 pages: The actual content of my work
→ A total of 24 pages.
On the pages with the actual content of my work, the numbering should be done with Arabic numerals (in the footer, starting with 1). Like: "Page 1 of 20" → This works perfectly.
But I would like pages to be numbered in roman numerals on the pages with the formal stuff (in the footer). Like: "Page I of III" → Page [actual page number starting with 1] of [total number of the pages with "formal stuff"] → Starting with 1 works great… But if I put in the footer on the formal pages the variable "Total number of pages", I get this output: "Page I of XXIII" → But actually there should be: "Page I of III"
I have created separate page formats for the title page, for pages with the formal stuff and of course for my pages with the content of my work. Everything works great, except for the matter with the page numbers on the "section" with the formal stuff.
How can I do that? Unfortunately, I could not find helpful hints in the forum.
Thanks a lot!
