Pagination dilema

G

Guest

I have a document template with (2) pages of non-numbered front matter, ie,
Title Page and TOC and (4) pages of numbered pages, ie, Page 1 of Y, etc. so
that the total number of pages is (6).

I need to keep the format of "Page X of Y", but I cannot figure out how to
keep Word from adding in my (2) non-numbered pages...

How do I format the pagination so that my numbered pages read "Page 1 of 4"
etc...instead of "Page 1 of 6" etc.?

Thank you to those who can help me!

The X and Y in the page numbering are fields. Right-click the Y number and
choose Toggle Field Codes. Then you'll see {NUMPAGES}. Change that to
{SECTIONPAGES}. Right-click again and choose Update Field.
