page x of y, and x starts on pg 3 of the doc...

[anet]

I have a title page & toc BEFORE my pg. 1 and i want my "y" to start on pg 1
not 3.
example: Title page (no pg #), TOC (pg. i), then the document starts (pg 1
of ??) I want the end number to begin with the document, not the title page.
How do i change this?

You'll have to use a calculated field for Y: { = { NUMPAGES } - 2 }

I have never done this task and don't have a clue on where to begin. Can you
give me more details?

 

[anet]

Can you be more specific on how to accomplish this task?
