Hello All,

I know this question has been asked before but I havent been able to get it to work in my case. I have a long run of statements I'm reformatting. They vary in length from 1 to 10+ pages and are all part of one large print run. Unfortunatly I do not have page 1 of ## as part of the data to know how many pages are part of any statement, but "Continued on page ##" appears when there is another page of data for this statement. I need to extract info from the last page of a statement to print on the all the pages. The data prints in the same place on the last page every time and the location is blank on all other pages.
What I am trying to write is this.

Execute code on each page that looks for "Continued on page" in a static location. If found store current page in a variable, and look to the next page for same line and recurse until it isn't found. When the last page of a statement is found write a var with the value of data in a static location and return to the original page and display the value.

I know this shouldn't be as hard as it seems, but I'm new to PP and could use a push in the right direction.

Thanks,
Brent

Hi,
because of the way PlanetPress works, you cannot go back and take data from the last data page and write it on the first one. If you have PlanetPress Watch there would be a way to use a VB script to manipulate the data to achieve your result.

Thanks
