Here's what I'm trying to do:

Document has 10 total pages:

1 title page
1 table of contents page
6 pages in portrait with text.
3 pages in landscape with pictures and text.

I want to have a footer with the following information:

Page n of nn where n= number of pages that are NOT the title page or the
table of contents page.

To prevent Word from calculating the total number of pages in the document,
I do a Section Break / Next page after the Table of Contents page. Then, in
the footer, I use the "section pages" field for the total number of pages.

This works UNTIL I change the last 3 pages to landscape mode (positioning my
cursor on the 6th page, and doing page setup, setting it to landscape mode
"from this point forward") The problem is, changing to landscape mode from
this point forward forces a new section (3).

So therefore, my footer only displays the number of pages by section.

Any ideas on how I can either:

1) Exclude the first two pages from being counted in the number of total pages
OR
2) Prevent a change in page orientation from forcing a section break
OR
3) Count the number of pages for the sections 2 & 3, and inserting that as a
field in the footer for sections 2 & 3?
