Add offset to page number in FM 11?

[benwiggy]

I want the page numbers in my report to start at a specific value, as the report is going to be a section of a much larger PDF document involving other stuff not from FM.

 

I've found a couple of old threads from several years ago, involving all sorts of fields and scripts, but I'm hoping things have improved since then.

Thanks

I don't see that it involves "all sorts of fields and scripts". You only need an unstored calculation field in the form of =

Get ( PageNumber ) + 123

This is assuming the "specific value" is known and unchanging. Otherwise use a global field or a variable to hold the offset value .

Ah. Thanks, that's a lot easier.
