Word 2013: Get the page number for the previous page
- by Mike Anthony
I'm trying to accomplish something very simple in Word 2013, but the feature does not seem to be available, nor can I work it out with field codes.
I simply want to include, on multiple pages, "continued from page n".
In terms of field codes, I have tried this:
{ = PAGE - 1 \* MERGEFORMAT }
It just tells me that PAGE is not a defined bookmark.
Is there any way that this can be done?
Edit:
Per documentation I found somewhere, I also tried this - but with no luck:
{ = { PAGE } - 1 }
This just threw Syntax Error, { back, which leads me to assume that it's incompatible with newer versions of Word.
