I have a document that I am working on that will have two cover pages from a
completely different application. I am trying to place page numbering fields
( x of y) in a header, and I am starting with page 3 in the X field on the
true first page of the Word document. I'm having a problem formatting the Y
field (NUMPAGES) to accurately reflect the page counts on for the entire
finished product. For instance, if I have three typed pages in my Word doc,
I would have to have the x of y numbering be 3 of 5, and 4 of 5, and 5 of 5,
respectively, as I have to account for the two cover pages. This is for a
report narrative template that I am working on, and (total) page numbers will
vary in the future.

Unfortunately, I work in an office where multiple versions of Word are in
use, from 97 on up. I've searched here and looked at the MVP article on page
numbering. If it was there, I missed it. Any help or advice would be
appreciated. Regards.
