Default Page numbering

I have a document of several pages, and page numbering begins on the
second page, starting with 2 of 4 for example.

The last page however isn't technically a page but a mailing
certificate and shouldn't be counted in the total page count field.

Is their a switch I can use or something like that to exclude the last
page in the total page count?

Thanks,

Steve

Default Page numbering

The best you can do is to use a calculated field { = { NUMPAGES - 1} } or,
if you have or can insert a section break before the last page AND every
thing preceding the last page is a single section, you can use SECTIONPAGES
instead of NUMPAGES.
