Just tell the numbering to start with page 0 instead of 1. This will fix your "page2" problem.
Congratulations my friend. You're right.
Your suggestion is Ok.

Thank you for now, and
overlook may mistakes, my english is very bad.

I have a BI Publisher template. which is having three pages design. For the first two pages no page x of y in footer. From third page on wards I want to display Page x of y in the pdf output. Based on the data, this may vary. I will be thankful if u suggest me in this regards.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot. It solved my problem.
How do I add a number to total number of pages ??
ex: NUMPAGES+1

this doesnt work for me.
Anybody know how you get the { NUMPAGES } to reset and only count pages within a section?
numpages is just total pages in a document so I'm not sure why you'd reset it?? To update numpages - highlight and push F9

To count pages within a section use {section pages}
This can easily be done using {SECTIONPAGES} which gives you the number of pages within a section. Combine that with the fact that you can reset the starting number of {PAGE} in each section and you can number your document pretty much any way you want.
Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I was trying to do. No luck with the Microsoft help articles. The trick (I guess but I tried so many ways I'm not sure) was to start with NUMPAGES *then* highlight and press Ctrl-F9.

I tried several variations which got a syntax error and several which did not, but also did not show.

Thank you again.

I had exactly the same issue. Thanks a lot for your clear instructions.
Where is the x of y numbering scheme in Word 7?
An excellent tip. Thank you.
Worked like a charm. Thanks.
Sorry if it'd been mentioned, but you can just replace the NUMPAGES field with a SECTIONPAGES field. It will make it much more flexible.
Would work if you only have one section. Once you have several sections, your page numbers would get screwed up. e.g.: on a document with 3 sections, section 1 having 10 pages; section 2, 5 pages, and section 3, 25 pages, you'll get the following page numbers: section 1: Page 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc. section 2: Page 11 of 5, 12 of 5, etc; and in section 3: Page 16 of 25, 17 of 25... 39 of 25, 40 of 25.
