A million "thank yous" Suzanne!!! I've been racking my brains for the
last
couple of months trying to figure this out.

Alt+F9 to display field codes and change NumPages to SectionPages. Note,
however, that if you already have a section break and have unlinked the
sections, you don't need "Different first page" in Section 1; in fact,
if
it's enabled in Section 2, it will double your work because you'll have
to
insert the page number in the First Page Footer as well as the Footer.

I have a document that is 10 pages. The first page will be my
title/cover
page; I do not want page numbering to be included on this page since
it's
the
title page, so I go into File == Page Setup == Layout tab and check
off
the
"Different First Page" checkbox. Hope this part doesn't sound too
confusing,
but I want the second page of the document (page following the
title/cover
page) to start as "Page 1 of 9". I inserted a "Next Page" section
break
between the title/cover page and the second page of the document. I
clicked
on the "Same as previous" icon in the header/footer toolbar and I
clicked
on
the "Format Page Number" icon on the header/footer toolbar and set the
numbering to start at "1". When I click the "Insert Page Number" icon
on
the
header/footer toolbar while I'm on the second page of the document , a
"1"
is
inserted which is exactly what I want. However, when I click on the
"Insert
Number of Pages" icon a "10" is inserted because it's including the
title/cover page in the count. This is how I want my footer to appear
in
my
document: Page 1 of 9, Page 2 of 9, Page 3 of 9, etc. and not Page 1
of
10,
Page 2 of 10, etc. Does anyone know how to set up the headers and
footers
this way? Thanks.
