Default Word 2007 - Insertng total page count in footer

Hello,

I just switched from Word 2003 to Word 2007 and it's almost like relearning
the user interface. Do they make these changes just so you'll think you're
getting something new for you money or do they really think it's better?
Anyway, to insert the current page number as well as the total page count in
a Word 2003 header/footer there were two separate buttons (allowing me to
produce something like Page 1 of 10). In Word 2007 all I can find is the
current page button, but no way to insert the total page count. So, although
I'm ashamed to admit it, what I've been doing is opening a document
proviously produced in Word 2003 then copying and pasting the total page
count field from it into the new Word 2007 document. Obviously that's a
kluge so I must be missing the obvious.

Finally, is there any option in Word 2007 which will change the user
interface back to the look and feel of Word 2003 (and just about every other
standard Windows application written)?

Thanks,
Ray
