Using Status(current layout number)

I have created several letters that are slightly different. Each of these letter is created in a different Layout and each is given a distinct layout name. I need to be able to at a glance in the footer of the letter decide which layout was used without having to look for the subtle differences. That could easily be accomplished using Status(current layout number) and Status(current layout name).

I've created a field (using a calculation) in each of the layouts which displays that particular layout's name and number. When I go to the browse mode and look at each layout the same number and name is displayed, which happens to be the first layout into which the field was placed. I thought it would give me the layout being displayed. I must be doing something wrong or have misinterpreted the intent of this feature.

Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong. Or does the feature really work?

Version: v4.x

Platform: Mac OS 9

Go back to Define Fields and set your calculation Storage options to "Do not store."
