- I gave this a shot using Interleaf 5 and when I tried the 'create-ref-
- misc' the only option it gave me was 'table page #' (not
- 'blank-page-#'). Is there something I need to create to get the
- 'blank-page-#' option from 'create-ref-misc'? Is that my problem
- (lack of this option)?
-
- I'm interested because I've been using a different solution to the
- 'page n of p' problem that is quite a bit more complicated.
-
- I've been creating a component at the very end of a particular document
- (I call it 'end'), then simply create an 'auto #' (invisible) in that
- component. I then reference that auto # in the footer to give me the
- 'p' in 'page n of p'. To get 'n' I create a 'ref-page #'. This works
- well but the suggested method seems much more simple.
-
- Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?
