Default Page X of Y - Issues when starting at a latter page

I want to use the Page X of Y AutoText entry in the footer, but I didn't want the footer to appear on the title page. I fixed that problem by creating two different sections in the document. One problem remains, though: The total number of pages in the document is still 20, so the page after the title page says Page 1 of 20. I want it to say Page 1 of 19, since the title page doesn't count.

you want to be using "Different First Page" settings not new sections.

Having different Sections is preferred unless the OP wants to get into field calculation issues and, unless extra measures are taken, still end up with a Table of Contents that has the wrong page #s.

If a Word Cover Page is used, in Word 2016, that will not be counted in the page numbering or x or y. This is not true in all versions of Word.

Definitely other front matter calls for a section break (and would require a calculated field for the y portion of pagination).

  1. Thank you!!!! It works! I used this link: http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/PageXofY.htm and replace NUMPAGES field SECTIONPAGES and now it shows the total number of pages in the section instead of the whole document, brilliant!
