I have a document which has been created by merging other documents.
That is I have a document z which has been created by merging document A, document B , document C.
These documents have their own page numbers which show the correct number of pages for
each of these documents.
I want Document z to retain the page numbers for each of these individual documents.

For e.g., If Document A has 2 pages, Document B - 3 and Document C - 4 pages.
Document z has 9 pages. But I want the page number field for Document z to say 1 0f 2 , 2 of 2 for Document A,
1 of 3, 2 of 3,3of 3 for Document B and so on.
Can anyone help me with this?
thanks

Hello

Thanks for your request.

Currently, this won't be possible using TX Text Control .NET. This requires a feature called sections which allows you to have different page sizes, margins and headers / footers for different sections. This will be supported in version 14.0 of TX Text Control. The release is planned for quarter 4 of this year.

Thank you. But is there a work around ? Can I increment the page numbers with out using page fields and add it to the Header/Footers selection text?

This won't be possible as the headers and footers are always the same (same content). Anyway, this is only possible, if the page numbers are not part of the header, but the main text.
