Exclude last page from page numbering

I would like to exclude the last page of my document from the total amount
of pages if I insert the page total. I have a BCC that I do not want
included in my page count. When I insert page x of y the y count will
include that BCC that I am trying to exclude. How do I exclude that last
page? Thanks.

You can use field code math. With field codes displayed, it currently is:

Page { page } of { numpages }


Modify the latter field so you have:

Page { page } of { ={ numpages }-1 }

To display field codes, press Alt+F9. After modifying, select the whole
field (which now has a nested field within it), press F9; then press Alt+F9
to toggle field display off.
