[mso] Word 97 (gasp!) and Mail Merge

Hi guys,
Yes I know I have an old version, but I like it and it does what I need it to 
do.
The question I have is this: I have a mail merge document referencing an 
Access (yes it's 97, sigh) database of names. The document is nothing but a 
table 
containing the names from the database ... simply <name><nextrecord>

In order to keep the pages in order, I added a footer that contains "Page n 
of nn", but annoyingly, whenever the number of names exceeds the entries for 
one page and needs to go to the next page, the number of pages do not update. 
It 
seems each page is a separate section. And since it's a new section, the page 
number and number of pages variables seems to reflect the page number and 
number of pages of  each section, rather than the whole document.

I would like it to reflect the true document's page number and number of 
pages.

Any ideas of how I can rectify this?
