Is there any way that I can get the number of pages that a certain chapter has into a variable and display it , for example:

Chapter 2 has 8 pages and I wouldlike to have a textbox with a variable inside which displays the current page and the number of pages in the chapter : like 3 of 6

The GetPageNumber function only works for the whole pub . Is there a workaround

You can do this with a little scripting:

ThanKs for your quick reply Duncan, I'll try it out !

Tried it out but it won't work that way . I always get "Function not found : Check capitalization or spelling".

Found out though if you leave out the GetPage() function it works , so the correct code would be var NumPagesInChapter = this.GetParent().GetNumberChildren();

Thanks for your great help anyway

Should have mentioned it will depend on the object the script is in:

For a script object on a page you would use:

For a script action or script object inside any other object:

Basically you need to get the parent of the current page (i.e. the chapter); so looking at the tree should tell you what you need to call.

Sorry , my fault !
