Page numbering in Header

Post by Miri Yosef »

In my original word document the page numbering begins on the second page starting from number 1. When importing it to softpro select it changes it to number 2. How can I make it keep the same method of page numbering as I have in my word doc?

Our document rendering does not support word's page numbering for various reasons. So we have created our own way of getting page numbering in the document:

{{Page}} which will tell you what page of the document is currently showing
{{NumPages}} which will tell you the total number of pages in the current document.

So you can use the two together to do something like:

Page {{Page}} of {{NumPages}}

However, please note that {{Page}} can only be used in the header or the footer of a document. {{NumPages}} can be used anywhere in the document. Try these out and see if it will fix your issue.

But what if I want page #2 to be numbered as page #1?

Unfortunately we do not have a way to do that currently. However, we are looking at adding that functionality in an upcoming release.
