How to insert automatic page number code into saved RTF

[allanj42]

When saving my document to RTF (using SaveRTF) how do I insert an RTF code to produce automatic page numbering? E.g. is there a code like {\pagenum} that I can insert into my RichTextEdit document before calling SaveRTF ? What other options or conditions need to be set for this to work?

Thanks,
Jeff Allan

A page numbering field is not implemented yet, planned for future.
If you need to save page numbers in a header or footer of RTF file, you have 2 options:

1) If you want to insert a simple page number, you can use OnSaveRTFExtra event to save header and footer. The code for page number is {\field{\*\fldinst PAGE}{\fldrslt 1}}, the example is here:

2) If you want to create a complex header or footer in separate editors (or if you use ScaleRichView where header and footer can be edited directly), you need to insert RTF code {\field{\*\fldinst PAGE}{\fldrslt 1}} in the editor. This topic shows two ways how to do it: http://www.trichview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2742
In TSRichViewEdit, header and footer are saved automatically.
In TRichViewEdit, assign header and footer using rve.RTFReadProperties.SetHeader and .SetFooter, and include rvrtfSaveHeaderFooter in rve.RTFOptions.

Thank you Sergey for your prompt and thorough answer.
I used the rvteoRTFCode solution.

I have now purchased a developer license for RT, largely because of the support you offer through this forum.
