Default How to number pages in Word document "1 of 10", "2 of 10", etc

Regardless of the document template, you should still have the default
AutoText entries that are in the Normal.dot global template. If you have
installed a Normal.dot template supplied by someone else, then see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions on
getting the default Normal.dot back. If your Normal.dot is intact, then you
could copy/paste or Insert your file into a new Blank Document, but you
would lose the formatting provided by the document template, along with any
macros, toolbars, AutoText entries, etc., provided by that template. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm

Suzanne:

I think you are right - I am using a template someone else created. Is

there
a way to get the values back? Could I save the document to a new file and
would that work?

Thanks

In a new document, from the main menu bar, choose Insert | AutoText. Do

you
see a list of categories? If so, in the Header/Footer category, do you

see
"Page X of Y"? If so, you should also see it on the AutoText menu on the
Header and Footer toolbar. If not, it's possible that you've saved a
document or template as Normal.dot, which will wipe out the default

AutoText
entries.

Doug:

I don't see a Page X or Y option - do I need to do something to make

it
appear as an option?

From the View menu, select Headers and Footers and in the Insert

autotext
pulldown on that toolbar, you will find a Page X of Y item which is

exactly
what you are looking for.

news I'm interested in numbering pages of a document to reflect the

page
number
and total number of pages in that document, such as: "1 of 10", "2

of
10",
"3
of 10", etc., ending with "10 of 10". Is this possible to

construct
in a
Word document?
