This is the purpose of a header and/or footer. I believe there are proposals for handling print formatting using CSS. Tthis is the approach I support. Sorry, I don't have a reference handy. Surely it would be better to separate the printing format of a document from it's markup (see the entire discussion on the rationale behind CSS/DSSSL). If you want "Page i of N" on every document you print, simply supply your browser with a stylesheet for printing that causes that effect. Regards, Steve Ball
