Ordinarily, one would have the same footer on each page. Consequently, changing the number on one page would cause them all to display that number. Assuming your document doesn't have Section breaks between the pages with the footers unlinked (which - as you observe - is a 'pain' to do), all you need do is insert a PAGE field in the first cell and a NUMPAGES field in the second. No code required.
