You can insert a field at the insertion point via Insert tab | Quick Parts |
Field.
If you used to work directly with the field codes in Word 97-2003, you can
still do that in Word 2007: You can use Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field
delimiters, { }, and then type in the code. And to show/hide field codes in
the document, press Alt+F9. F9 updates the fields in the selection.

Prior versions allowed insertion of fields via menu. Desired capability is
to
insert 'number of pages' in footer. As in 1 of N, where N is number of
pages
in document. 2003 and prior allowed this as a footer command or a field
insert. Now the only option is to scroll through all the sample footers,
pick
the lonely example that includes the desired 1 of N, change the format,
add
the other footer information and finally done. Or, open an existing
document
and copy the footer and paste it. As with many "features" of 2007,
deleting
the field insert is not an improvement.
