Page X of Y (Y needs to be total page count)

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hi Eric

You can do this as follows:

1. Place a paragraph on the last page of the book. It doesn't have to contain   anything, but if you wish it may. You can also set the colour to white.
2. Place a cross reference to the paragraph tag in the footer, and set the   cross-reference format to $pagenum.

Hope this helps.
Roger

Subject: Page X of Y (Y needs to be total page count)

I have a book totaling 80 consecutive pages but made up of several files. 
  I have been asked by our Quality dept. to use Page X of Y in my footers 
  (the result of an audit). When I put in the Page Count variable, I get the 
  page count of the individual file (the Y part of the page count footer), 
  not of the whole book. 
  
  So, file 1 has Page 1 of 2, file 2 has Page 3 of 16, etc. I need them to 
  be Page 1 of 80, Page 3 of 80, etc. Is there a variable or some other 
  method I'm not familiar with that will accomplish this? I've checked the 
  Help file and did a quick Google search on page variables, but found 
  nothing useful.
  
  I'm using Frame 6 on Win XP SP3.
  
  Thanks!
