Default Use NUMPAGES in formulae

Hey,

I inserted a Page X of Y into my header, and it gives me page 1 of 2. That is because there are actually 2 pages, but it is counting the 2nd page as the 1st one, which I want it to do. There seems to be no way of telling it that it is supposed to say 1 of 1, not 1 of 2. What I'm trying to do is:

{ = { Numpages } - 1 }

Rather than giving me the number of pages minus one, it gives me a syntax error. How do I do this properly? I've tried { = Numpages -1 }, but that doesn't work either.
