MS Word - page numbering

[Gary N.]

I have a document with a 3-page Table of Contents (I
number those pages i, ii & iii) and then the body of the
work follows (I number those pages 1, 2, 3, ...).
I set up the footer to include "page number" of "number of
pages".
In my 163-page document, the last page footer reads: "160
of 163." It includes the TOC pages in the total.
Is there some way to not include the Table of Contents
pages in the final total?
I want my last page footer to read: "160 of 160."

Thanks,

Gary

If all 160 pages are in a single section, you can use the SectionPages field
instead of NumPages. If not, you'll have to use a calculated field:

{ = { NUMPAGES } - 3 }
