<div>
I had looked at this before I posted the question, it doesn't address how to use a variable with a field code, only how to put nested field codes.<br />
<br />
this is what I'm doing right now<br />
<br />
'sets the footers for section 2 (all but the covering letter)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; With ActiveDocument.Sections(2)<wbr />.Footers(w<wbr />dHeaderFoo<wbr />terPrimary<wbr />).Range<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; .Text = &quot;KSB Reference: &quot;&nbsp;&amp; strKSB_Ref<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; End With<br />
<br />
I need the Page X of Y on the next line of the footer<br />
<br />
Thanks

I need to include a variable and a field code in a footer.<br />
<br />
The var is called strReference<br />
The field code is PAGE of NUMPAGES<br />
<br />
so the final thing in the footer looks like this<br />
<br />
Q1000023<br />
Page 1 of 6<br />
<br />
I can get the variable in OK, but I cannot figure out how to append the field code.<br />
<br />
right justified<br />

Thanks<br />

How to include VBA variables and field codes in a Word 2003 footer

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
