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?

You can make use of the SECTIONPAGES field. If you have already inserted
NUMPAGES (the number of pages in the whole document), you can do the
following: Show the field codes by pressing Alt+F9. You'll see { NUMPAGES }.
Change the text to SECTIONPAGES. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to
hide field codes.

Check out the SectionPages field.
Hope this helps

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