Use the SECTIONPAGES field or if you have more than two sections, use { =
{ NUMPAGES -1 }}

I am typing a document which has a header page followed by a section break
and then the next 32 pages are numbered in a footer, ie 1 of .... As
there
are 33 pages in the document if I use "insert number of pages" within
footers, then the number inserted will be 33. As there are only 32 pages
within that section is there any automatic way of inserting this other
than
inputting 32 manually?
