This post A few mail merge questions before purchase

mentions that the NUMPAGES field is updated when a word document is opened.



I see the PAGE field getting updated but not the NUMPAGES field. Is there anything I can do so it gets updated?



Thanks

Hi,

It seems like NUMPAGES requires updating by pressing F9. Try it.

F9 works but I was hoping to have it update automatically if possible.

Sorry, this is not possible until we implement our own pagination engine. And it is still several months away…
