(Fields are updated when you manually update them or when you choose to print or use print preview.) Note that whenever you add or delete pages from any of the documents, the page numbers within them are updated automatically when the fields are updated. Assuming that the document files are stored in the directory at C:\MyDocs\Example, you would use the following compound field in step 2: Now, you need to follow the same general steps in the Chap2.docx document, except that the fields you use need to be a bit more complex. Click the Close Header and Footer tool (on the Design tab of the ribbon) and save your document.When you click Add, the bookmark is created. Type a simple bookmark name, such as bk.Select the field you just created and press Shift+Ctrl+F5.Press F9 to collapse the field you just created.Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field braces into which you should type the word NUMPAGES.(Don't worry the field still exists in previous pages because you unlinked this section's footer from the previous section's footer.) This "unlinks" the footer in the last section from the footer you previously created. Click the Link to Previous tool so that it is not selected.This moves you to the footer in the last section of the document, which is after the section break you inserted in step 1. On the Design tab of the ribbon (it should be visible because you are working in the footer), click the Next Section tool.This represents the page number of the current page. This inserts a pair of field braces into which you should type the word PAGE. Within the footer of the document's first section, press Ctrl+F9.
Somewhere on the second-to-last page of the document (page 14, in this case) insert a continuous section break.Start by opening Chap1.docx and follow these general steps: Chap1.docx has 15 pages, Chap2.docx has 11 pages, and Chap3.docx has 17 pages. As an example, let's suppose that you have three documents, each representing chapters in a larger book. You can try a workaround, by using fields within your documents, but that gets a bit complex. There is no way to do this automatically in Word. Abulkalam wonders if there is a way that he could avoid the need to manually change page numbers all the time. He knows he could use master documents and subdocuments, but that can of worms is one he doesn't want to open. If one document has an added or deleted page, then he has to manually change the page numbering in the following documents. Abulkalam has multiple documents that he wants to have continuous page numbering from one document to the other.
