Hi Ilana
I forgot to mention that { = ( -1 ) + { NUMPAGES } } is in fact 2 field
codes - i.e. one field code inside another field code. Unless you do it this
way you'll receive an error message.
For example:
1. Press CTRL + F9
2. Type =(-1 )+
3. While the cursor is still inside the field, press CTRL + F9 again
4. Type NUMPAGES in the second field code.
Hope that helps. And, sorry if that was really obvious.
Friendly Regards
Nigel

Hi Ilana
This field code will work so long as you know how many pages there are
before your content page numbering starts.
The example below subtracts 1 from the total number of pages in your
document.
Page { PAGE } of { = ( -1 ) + { NUMPAGES } }
If you'd like me to send you the word doc with the enclosed fields in it, so
that you can cut and paste it, send me an email direct.
Friendly Regards
Nigel
