Hi,

Take a look at my Add-Ins:

• Page X of Y Building Blocks
• Supplemental Building Blocks for Headers and Footers

Both cover your issue. Neither has any macros.

Long term, learn to use the page numbering fields in Word. It will give you far more flexibility. X is the Page field. Y is the Numpages field. Z is the Sectionpages field.
