Field for first page of a section?

[flexscan]

In addition to the section name, I would also like to enter the first and last page of the section in the header. For example, the header should look like this:

section name | 021 - 029 (in case the section starts at page 21 and ends at 29)

I found the field for the last page, but not the one for the first page of the section. Does this field even exist? Or how else could this be solved?

 

------------------------------

 

Ich möchte gern in der Kopfzeile neben dem Sektionsnamen zusätzlich noch die erste und letzte Seite der Sektion angeben. Die Kopfzeile sollte dann zum Beispiel so aussehen:

Sektionsname | 021 - 029   (im Fall, dass die Sektion bei Seite 21 beginnt und bei 29 endet)

Das Feld für die letzte Seite habe ich gefunden, jedoch nicht das für die erste Seite der Sektion. Gibt es dieses Feld überhaupt? Oder wie könnte man das sonst lösen?

Hi Flexscan,

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but this info should already be included under the section name in the section manager as shown in my attached screenshot.

Doesn't adding a normal page number field, followed by the last page number field (with a dash between them) do what you want?

Not if @flexscan needs the first page in the section and the last page in the section. Not the current page.

"this is <section> which goes from page <we don't have a first page in section field yet> to <last page in section>." " Page <page #>"

"this is Part II which goes from page 7 to 18." " Page 11"

Hi Old Bruce, this is You're right, that's exactly what I mean. It's a pity that there is obviously no such field for the first page of the section.

You’re right, of course! I can only imagine I was thinking, “from here to the end”, rather than “from the beginning to the end”, which obviously is not what was wanted!

The information where the first page of the section begins should be captured in Publisher. Unfortunately, I can't find the appropriate field to place it on the master page. @Callum : To the developers: Isn't it really easy to add a field like this in the next update?
