format of page number

[dh42891]

This should be an easy one for somebody...

My formula:

PageNumber & " of " & TotalPageCount

displays

1.00 of 3.00. I don't need my page count to accurate to the 100ths place. How do I tell CR 8.5 I don't want the decimal places? I know there is a special fields that displays "Page 1 of 3" but I don't want it to display 'page' either. Thanks,

Try:

totext(PageNumber,0,"") + " of " + totext(TotalPageCount,0,"")

Or just use the Special function: pagenofm

This will automatically produce

"Page 1 of 100"

-k

Worked like a charm, appreciate it. Heh, impressive response time too, couldn't have been more than a minute.

thanks,

There is a "Special Function" called "Page N of M". Try it, use it, like it.

I did try it, but didn't use it because I don't like it:

"I know there is a special field that displays "Page 1 of 3" but I don't want it to display 'page' either. "


Thanks

dh42891, you might also find it useful to check [Fields] on [Options] under [File]. You can set a default for decimals etc.
