Default
The preferred approach would be to put a field coded along the lines of:
{SET Sctn1 {SECTIONPAGES}}
in the first Section's header or footer then, for the 'y' part of the 'page x of y' numbering for the rest of the document, use a field coded like:
{={NUMPAGES}-Sctn1}

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above examples are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac or, if you’re using a laptop, you might need to use Ctrl-Fn-F9); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. The spaces represented in the field constructions are all required.
