Hi Ray,
Stefan's reply suggested using AutoText as the gallery choice. You might also consider using the Footer gallery choice. Once
you've created a footer sample that has text you like, such as both the Page an NumPage fields in a footer, select it that text in
the footer, choose the 'Footer' gallery from the Header & Footer Tools ribbon and then 'Save Selection' to make it a reusable tool
for the footer. It's then also available in Insert=Footer ribbon and will add the footer without having to be in the footer.
FWIW, in prior versionsmany folks, I've found thought it was too much work to use the page number and total page number fields in
footers along with typing in the Page:{field here} and of{field here} and to get them properly styled and would basically do what
you did as a workaround here, just copy from another document. That's sort of what the gallery is, giving folks a set of readily
usable footers without the need for using a separate document

Thanks Stefan,
I was afraid of that. ...sounds like yet another giant step backwards for Mircosoft on this one - removing a very useful feature
or making it very difficult to use.
Thanks,
Ray
