The WR INSERT PAGE NUMBER command allows you to insert, at the cursor location, a reference that displays the current page number or the total number of pages. This reference can be placed in the main text, footer or header area. You can use the WR SET FRAME command to place the cursor in whichever area you choose.

format allows you to choose the display format for the reference to insert. In this parameter, you can pass one of the following constants of the WR Page number formats theme:

Constant Type Value Comment
wr 123 Longint 0 1, 2, 3...
wr abc Longint 1 a, b, c...
wr ABC Longint 2 A, B, C...
wr i ii iii Longint 3 i, ii, iii...
wr I II III Longint 4 I, II, III...

The typeNum optional parameter allows you to insert either the current page number or the total page count of the current documet. If you pass the constant wr page number (value 0) or if you omit this parameter, the current page number will be inserted. If you pass the constant wr total number of pages (value 1), the total number of pages of the document will be inserted.
