Default page numbering problem

I have a mail which is two pages long and merges however after the first two
pages on the merge document (Which are fine) every 2nd page has

Page 2 of 643

I have checked the original document for any insert page fields and tried
finding Page 2 of 643 in the document to remove them. But no joy.

Can anyone explain what I have done wrong on the mailmerge to get it to show
Page 2 of 643. This is not a problem on the first page 2 but is on every
subsequent one.

The only way I can resolve this is to manually remove each Page 2 text from
the footer.

Default page numbering problem

In the Mail Merge main document, press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of
field codes and look for { NUMPAGES } or { numpages }. If you want the
documents to display Page 2 of 2, replace it with { SECTIONPAGES }

Hope this helps.
